Chaunte Wayans at Dayton Funny Bone
Born in New York City and raised in New Jersey, Chaunte´ Wayans is more than her famous last name. “I've lived between two different worlds my entire life. I grew up with the famous last name, minus the lavish lifestyle.” Chaunte´ blows away audiences with a unique ability to invite them into her unconventional life while being very relatable. Her comedy often revolves around her experiences as a lesbian and how it’s helped her see both sides of a relationship, whether masculine or feminine. “My life is an open book.” says Chaunte´, “From growing up, trying to keep up with the famous last name and lifestyle, coming out of the closet, to battling and surviving the addiction to alcohol and drugs.”
Since pursuing a career in stand up comedy Chaunte´ has toured nationally with Russell Peters, Katt Williams, David Alan Grier, and her uncles Marlon, Shawn, and Damon Wayans and has fulfilled a dream to perform at New York's famous Madison Square Garden numerous times.
Chaunte´ is a featured cast member on MTV’s hit show Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out and was also featured on TLC’s Trading Spaces. Most recently, Chaunte´ has appeared on Bounce TV’s Off the Chain and NickToon’s animated series ThugaBoo. She can be also seen on Katt Williams’ special Kattpacalypse, films Hollywood Misconceptions and Dance Flick.
When she is not touring or filming, Chaunte´ likes to spend time volunteering by feeding the homeless, performing stand up at women's shelters, and giving speeches on bullying at high schools.
