Bone Hampton Biography

Although the phrase "crossover" is rarely applied to comics, it is an apt description for Vernard "Bone" Hampton, one of American comedy's most well-traveled and in-demand entertainers. Bone's comic intelligence knows no boundaries. He may be seen working the audience at a comedy club one day, doing his thing at a church the next, and making a splash on a successful sitcom the next. “Comedy is like putting on clothing to me,” he explains. “If I'm going to a prom, I'll dress up in a tuxedo.” I'll wear shorts and a T-shirt if I'm heading to a choir rehearsal.” Bone felt like a fish out of water when he started his comic career in California (after moving from Texas on a whim). In the crowded world of foul-mouthed humor, however, the experience encouraged him to carve out his own niche, his own personality. He admits, "What I did know was the Bible and how Christians believe." “I may not be able to connect with mainstream audiences in the same way that those extreme guys do, but I will be able to connect with them in the same way that Kirk Franklin or TobyMac would.” Bone not only continued to do stand-up and record his own DVDs, but he also landed spots on tours and served as the Main-Stage host at festivals such as Joyfest, KingsFest, HeartFest, WonderJam, Beachblast, and others, which include all of the world's A-List Christian and Gospel music performers. He's also been on ABC's "Less Than Perfect," NBC's "My Name Is Earl," BET's "Comic View," and a movie with Sandra Bullock called "All About Steve," among other things. This excellent resume was not created by coincidence. Bone attributes his rising fame to people who think and behave like him—faith partners who feel it is possible to be a Christian and succeed in show business. Bone appeared on “Thou Shalt Laugh: The Deuce,” a DVD presented by Tim Conway (“The Carol Burnett Show,” “SpongeBob SquarePants”) and featuring some of Christian comedy's greatest talent. Bone's performance on TSL2 wowed the producers so much that they called him back to perform on TSL5, presented by Chonda Pierce. Bone's objective stays the same regardless of the outlet or location. “All I want to do is have a nice time.” “All I want to do is be the ringleader of the party.”
