Not just a pretty face, Jayson Cross is also pretty smart, pretty hilarious, and we're pretty thrilled to have him at The Laughing Academy!

About JAYSON CROSS

Dubbed "The Model Comic," Chicago-born and bred Jayson Cross combines quick wit with leading man looks (he was even featured in Playgirl's 2006 "Hot List"!).

A stand-up comedian, model and actor whose appearances range from national ads for major brands, photoshoots in Cosmopolitan, FHM, Marie Claire, and of course Playgirl (NO, he kept his clothes ON!) to TV work on 'As the World Turns' and 'All My Children,' Jayson has also hosted WE Network's '3 Men and a Chick Flick' and AMC's 'Date Night,' and his stand-up work includes headlining stand-up stints at top clubs like The Ice House, Zanies, and The New York Comedy Club as well as opening for celebrity acts like Kevin Nealon, Aries Spears, A Taste Of Honey, Richard Pryor Jr., Donnell Rawling, Sommore, and Sherrod Smalls.
