This fall, god’s ladies’ man is ready to deliver help and laughter to the world of stand-up comedy courtesy of his new home Netflix.
Comedian/Actor/Social Media Personality Kountry Wayne announced Tuesday morning the release date of his debut comedy special titled A Woman’s Prayer set to premiere on the world’s No. 1 streaming service on Tuesday September 19th.
Filmed at The Warner Theatre in Washington D.C. the South Georgia native delivers a performance that can only be described as extraordinary as he shares his hilarious opinions on fatherhood, love, gender dynamics, and faith. The special is directed by Jeff Tosmic and executive produced by Wayne, Tosmic, and Matthew Vaughn of Rotten Science Productions.
Rotten Science has built a highly-successful catalog among the comedy community including Tru TV’s Laff Tracks, Netflix’s The Degenerates, The Cabin with Bert Kreischer, Lil Rel Howery: Live in Crenshaw, Byron Bowers: Spiritual N***a, Kate Berlant: Cinnamon in the Wind, and Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel.
Hailing from Millen, Georgia, Wayne grew up with aspirations of becoming a super-star rapper, however those ambitions quickly changed when he posted a video to Facebook and became a viral sensation overnight. Wayne attacked his new found fame head on and grew his audience to over 4 Million followers across Facebook & Instagram by delivering amazing content on a daily basis. Never willing to say no to a fan, Wayne heeded their calls when asked to perform standup comedy. He initially started performing in small clubs in Atlanta and by 2016, had embarked on a 45-city sold-out tour (2016 Child Support Tour). Since then, Wayne has consistently performed year-round, regularly selling out clubs & theaters across the country to a diverse, wide-reaching audience with his unique brand of high-energy, faith-based, and clean content.
Kountry Wayne was named one of Variety‘s 10 Comics to Watch in 2021 and has appeared on MTV’s Wild ‘N Out. He’s starred in the BET original Christmas rom-com “Holiday Heartbreak” (2021) and releasing his debut EP, “Drip & Zay,” with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, Zaytoven. Wayne, along with Kym Whitley, currently co-hosts “I Love Us,” a comedy clip show on BET+ that premiered this past summer. He will be starring alongside Chloe Bailey, Quavo, Mack Wilds, Druski, and more, in Universal Pictures’ “Praise This,” produced by Will Packer and directed by Tina Gordon.
In addition to the HELP IS ON THE WAY Comedy Tour, Wayne released his first book of the same name through Harmony Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
In the memoir, Wayne shares his seemingly impossible story with hopes to inspire others to see that no matter where you started from or how stuck you feel right now, the possibilities for living a rich, full life are limitless. The foreword is written by NAACP Image Award-winning actor and comedian, Cedric the Entertainer.
