As our comedy scene continues to branch out beyond the few clubs and venues we have here, we're starting to see talented comedians receive opportunities that no Utah-based performer has been offered before. Take, for example, the work being done by comedian Key Lewis, who has been touring the western U.S. as well as appearing on the BET Network, all while encouraging people to continue to come out and support the local end of the business. We got a chance to chat with Lewis about his career and the projects he currently has going on, plus his thoughts on local comedy.

Bio
Key Lewis
Sacramento California born Key Lewis is a high energy, improvisational, storytelling, multiple-personality nutcase! His love for the people and hunger for the stage is his undying motivation.
His comedic stories about his interracial childhood, family, and unusual views on relationships, make Key simply a joy to watch. His ability to improvise and interact with all types of crowds makes this up and coming comic and actor one to look out for. Key Lewis has appeared on Starz Networks StaannDup, Kevin Harts One Mic Stand, Bob Sumner's We Got Next, as well as Bill Bellamys Whos Got Jokes!
Key says, chase your dream, always know your audience; don't act funny, be funny; don't be a dick; don't worry about the quantity of your material but the quality; the sooner you create a relationship with your crowd, the better you will be.
