Born in Georgetown Guyana and swept to Toronto Canada, Clif Knight has been making people laugh at his nonsense for 7 years. His perspective tackles being a queer black traveller, the insanity of relationships and "why do yall hate raccoons so much?" -- A regular on the Nubian Show with Kenny Robinson, he's performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Bi Arts Festival, Pride Toronto and has a comedy special as part of the Out For Laughs comedy collection on Amazon Prime. He's the producer and host of Heat Wave Comedy at The Comedy Lab, an always hype and sold-out showcase of his handpicked faves, focusing on Queer and BIPOC performers to counter the trend of just having a single one as a 'token' as currently is the case with most comedy lineups. He wins audiences with a magnetic personality, lovably logical perspective and a fantastic smile. Follow him everywhere at @cliffy_so_funny
