A Rising Star CT Gets Special

When Affion Crockett set out to scout the next major players in comedy, he wasn’t looking for the safe bets. He was after raw energy, pure hunger, and the kind of presence you can’t ignore. Enter Clayton Thomas—CT to pretty much everyone with a sense of humor and a phone.

CT doesn’t just get up and tell jokes. He flips clubs upside down, makes strangers into diehards, and somehow leaves every audience a little lighter for days. Sixteen years on the road, from Motor City to the Middle East, and he still finds new ways to blow the roof off. The guy is tireless.

You’ve probably seen him on TV, even if you didn’t realize it. Eight seasons killing it behind and in front of the camera on FAMILY TIME. Cameos on ALL RISE, MODERN FAMILY, INSECURE. Dominating on HBO’s ALL DEF COMEDY. And when Martin Lawrence hits the road, CT’s right there with him, leaving crowds gasping through the LIT AF tour.

But here’s where CT stands alone: his fans aren’t just watching, they’re all in. #TeamCT is two million strong and counting—a movement that tunes in for the sketches, the quick-fire improv, the JustUSLeague podcast, and the feeling that when you see “all daaaaay!” streak across your feed, you’re in on something special. Every beat of CT’s act is pure Detroit: gritty, fast, and totally unfiltered.

So yeah, “multi-hyphenate” barely covers it. Stand-up? Owned. Writing? Nailed. Podcasts, TV, live crowds—he does it all, no ego, just full-out talent and a knack for making even the back row feel like family. If you spot #TeamCT trending or your club suddenly erupts with his chant, don’t just scroll by. Sit up, tune in, and watch CT work.

Microphone Masters, Season Two, Episode One—CT’s the one to watch. If you luck into front-row seats, take them. You’ll be retelling the set for weeks. CTisDope.
