Ty Barnett, a Chicago native, got his start at Seattle’s “Comedy Underground.” Since then, his star keeps rising! Dedicated to “bringing the funny,” his shows have been called “hilarious” (Whoopi Goldberg), “thought provoking,” “edgy,” and have earned him countless television appearances. He was one of the final 2 on the most watched and only Emmy nominated season of LAST COMIC STANDING and has made multiple TONIGHT SHOW, LATE LATE SHOW, and KIMMEL (please take off quotes for  ALL TV shows please) appearances. Jay Leno says Ty is: “…one of the funniest comedians working.” He currently has scores of national commercials and has a notable presence online through his web series THIS IS THE BULL@%t I’M TALKING ABOUT.

Barnett is a series regular on Discovery Family Channel’s “Babies Behaving Badly” and “Beasts Behaving Badly.”  He was also the host of The Food Network’s MEALIN’ AND DEALIN’ and CHEAP EATS along with HBO’s BAD BOYS OF COMEDY, his own COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS, his one-hour special, ISSUES, and his half-hour special, YEP… which gets millions of views online. Ty has been called “one to watch” by the Hollywood Reporter.  His albums, GROWN MAN, BABY STEPS and ‘BOUT DAMN TIME are regularly featured on Sirius/XM.

You may have seen him in a recurring role on ‘TIL DEATH on FOX, LIFE IN PIECES on CBS, or perhaps the sitcom SAMANTHA WHO? NICKMOM NIGHT OUT or TOSH.0. He was also a guest star on NBC's BROOKLYN NINE-NINE. With charm and style that transcend race and age, Ty’s ability to rock ANY and ALL audiences has made him an international favorite on stages from the South Side of Chicago to theaters in London. You don’t “go to” a Ty Barnett show, you “hang-out” with Ty Barnett!
