Welcome to the Official Stu Stuart Comedy Website




"Farewell Comedy Tour 2013," marked the end of my 19-year run on Mackinac Island, Michigan, performing stand-up comedy and my comedy career. I'm no longer a summer resident on the Island. 2017 was my final summer living there. I'm officially retired from professional stand-up comedy. When I wrapped my 2013 season, I thought I might still might occasionally do some shows around the country, but I didn't. I just got too busy running my beer tours to Belgium and Germany. Come with me on a beer tour, we don't do any formal stand-up comedy, but there's plenty of situational comedy that unfolds organically. You get a group of people together having fun and comedy emerges. Below is my comedy bio from my professional stand-up comedy career. I hope you enjoy it.

Stu Stuart's mass-appeal style of comedy is clever, witty and unpredictable with an unexpected edge.  He presents his comedy in a comfortable and witty manner causing you to think, then laugh, all while continually pulling the rug out from you when you least suspect it, says the Seattle Times.

His delightfully different slice-of-life comedy is enjoyed by people of all ages. He's proof you don't have to be dirty to be funny.  He's sometimes dark, but always humorous.  Every once in a while a comedian comes along, who really hits home--this is Stu.

  His conversational style of in-the-moment and often improvised comedy is a delight to watch and guarantees no two shows will be exactly the same.  This is one of the reasons many people return year-after-year to see his show.
    In addition to performing stand-up comedy, he is the founder of Belgian Beer Me!, which specializes in beer tours of Belgium, and Bamberg Beer Me!, which specializes in beer tours of Bamberg, Germany.   Visit BelgianBeerMe.com and Bambergbeerme.com for details.

    He also taught Beginning Stand-Up Comedy at the Experimental College at the University of Washington, Seattle, from 1991-2015.  His resume includes being a sitcom writer, and a humor columnist for the Porcupine Press and the Mackinac Island Town Crier.  The Porcupine Press is available at finer Shell stations throughout Northern Michigan.

   Stu now divides his time between Grand Marais in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Cave Creek, Arizona.

Here's a nice article about the retirement of my Mackinac Island comedy show in the Town Crier.

Beginning Stand-Up Comedy Class

Stu Stuart taught this class from 1991-2015, when the Experimental College sadly closed because of budget cuts and poor management, after being open since 1971.

 I suggest taking Peter Greyy's Beginning Stand-Up Comedy Class in Seattle 




Below was my course description. I keep this up for the historical record of the class, which taught hundreds of students the basics of stand-up comedy and provided an experience like no other.    

Treat yourself to a walk on the funny side. Course is offered by professional comedian Stu Stuart through the ASUW Experimental College in Seattle. Course meets three times on the University of Washington campus and a fourth time at the Seattle Comedy Underground for the Big Show, where students have an opportunity to perform in a real comedy club. Course fee is $95 for general public and $75 for UW students.

     Stu has been teaching Beginning Stand-Up Comedy since 1991. Since then, he has taught hundreds of students.  Fellow-professional-comedian and class alumnus, Peter Greyy (pictured in the latest in sweater-vest apparel) often assists in teaching the class, drawing from his Wikipedia-like knowledge of comedy and years of experience.  Peter is also the talent coordinator for the Seattle International Comedy Competition.

     Stu typically teaches the class three times each year. The class is  a great experience for those who want to learn the basics of stand-up comedy. It takes a lot of courage, and it's a lot of work writing and performing comedy. But in the end, not only do students have a lot of fun and learn about comedy, but they develop a greater self-confidence and a belief that anything is possible," says Stu, adding, "I've found that the average person, given some coaching on the mechanics of stand-up and given some moral support is very funny on stage."
