Shawn Carter is a nationally touring comedian and the owner of the Blue Ridge Comedy Club in Bristol, TN. Shawn came up through the early 2000s Boston comedy scene, where he developed a reputation as understated, observational, and more than a little surreal.

He has traveled the country doing standup comedy at clubs and festivals for many years, and has supported such acts as Deon Cole, Orny Adams, Steve Sweeney, and Joe DeRosa. Shawn’s debut comedy album, “100 Problems,” hit #1 on the iTunes Comedy Chart and landed in the Top 10 on the Billboard Comedy Chart.

After many years producing weekly shows in the Boston area, Shawn founded the Blue Ridge Comedy Club in 2021 after moving to Bristol, TN. Blue Ridge is a 100-seat venue dedicated to bringing high-quality comedy talent to Northeastern Tennessee. The club has since developed a strong local scene and gained the reputation of attracting top industry talent. 

Shawn has placed in the Top 10 of multiple comedy competitions (South Shore Comedy Riots, Catch a Rising Star, Boston International Comedy Festival), was a comic-in-residence at The Comedy Studio in Harvard Square, and is the founder of both the website “UnScene Comedy” and the podcast “Pick a Side, Stupid.”
