Atlanta’s Kountry Wayne, who grew up in the tiny southwest Georgia town of Millen, was an early fan of social media, building his comedic act with sketches and jokes on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter in the early 2010s.
By the time Wayne (real name: DeWayne Jamarr Colley) began performing stand-up comedy onstage in 2015, he said he had already found his voice and quickly built confidence before a live audience.
