Clark Jones is a Chicago native that left a big city to chase his dreams in an even bigger city – and now, he's also the latest guest on A TIGHT 45 with TABARI McCOY!
Moving to Brooklyn to pursue his stand-up dreams, Jones left his former job – teaching – in 2017 only to establish himself as one of the rising stars in New York City's comedy community. In addition to appearing on Season 2 of Pete Holmes former HBO dramedy Crashing and Night Train with Wyatt Cenac on Starz , he has hosted the wildly popular Comedy at the Knitting Factory , taking over the spot once held by Hannibal Buress. In addition, 2016 saw Jones named one of the “11 Funniest Comedians in the Country” by BET and “One of the 50 Funniest People in Brooklyn” by Brooklyn Magazine.
On this episode (out on all major platforms on Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2022), Tabari and Clark chat about all things Chicago (including baseball, hip-hop and pizza), their experience working in modern education, therapy, stand-up ... And why if stand-up doesn't work out, don't be surprised if you find one of Clark's creations at your local haberdashery (if you even know what a haberdashery is, that is)!
