About this Event
Brian Swinehart is an American actor, writer, stand-up comedian, and award winning producer. He has performed at the most reputable comedy venues across the country. Brian is recognized as an astute observer of current social issues, as well as a heartfelt storyteller. His work has been largely informed by decades of writing and acting experience in Hollywood.
Brian has worked with such luminaries as Danny Aello in the TV Pilot Broken Dreams, a comedic role opposite Kevin Hart in the Steve Pink directed film About Last Night. He had been a stand-in for Matthew McConaghey in the movie Lincoln Lawyer, for Josh Halloway in the TV show Colony, and for the late Paul Walker. Brian acted in the film the Tarot, directed by Peter Hyoguchi, and appeared in two national commercials including a coveted Super Bowl spot.
In 2018 Brian suffered a boating accident, which resulted in the loss of the tips of his right middle and ring fingers. Brian was quickly back on the standup stage turning his literal pain into humor. This accident also inspired him to enter a wrestling tournament for ages eighteen and up; Brian was a state wrestler in High School and a member of the Junior Olympic team, twenty years prior! His incredible journey of redemption was made into a documentary by legendary Dutch filmmaker Ismael Lotz, called I Cleaned My Room.
Brian is currently on a national standup tour and will be filming a comedy special in May of 2024.
There is no stopping this guy!
