Jason Banks entertained millions of people during the 2020 pandemic after creating a TikTok account that centered around viral skits of his fictional son Derek and his friends, all played by Jason.
Now, watch Jason return to his stand-up roots as he delivers a must-see performance in his hilarious highly anticipated stand-up special Light Skinned filmed in front of a sold-out audience at Gas South Theatre in Duluth Georgia.
In addition to creating content online, often inspired by his 10-year-old twins, Jason performs on some of the biggest stages all over the country. After winning numerous competitions in his home state of Ohio — including the “Funniest Person in Columbus Contest” at the Columbus Funny Bone — Jason started touring the U.S. regularly. He’s appeared on both seasons of Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks on TruTV and most recently recorded his first-hour special in Atlanta, which will be released in 2023.
