Cash’s passion for Standup Comedy is the impetus for the travel. His wit and insight have landed him opportunities like Comedy Central UpNext, NBC standup and Laughs on FOX. He’s won festivals and competitions from NC’s Port City’s Top Comic and Comedy Zone’s Almost Famous to California’s SLO Comedy fest and Denver Comedy Works Thick Skin Competition. Cash plays the best shows in NYC and LA and the best clubs and rooms between the two coasts.

When he’s not on stage, he spends much of his time lost in the forest, sleeping under a dark sky or hiking to swimming holes often for weeks at a time. A life long love of the outdoors was rekindled when comedy opened the doors to a whole new world by granting him the chance to travel the entire country and outside of the topography, geology and climate that he’d always known as home.

Having lived all of his life in NC split between the mountains, the piedmont and the coast, these places still feel like home even though that word has become more and more abstract as he travels 50-60,000 miles per year and only spends a month or two of each year sitting still. The Blue Ridge Parkway has always been one of his favorite places and still is after all the exploring. “It’s simply one of the most beautiful places on Earth especially to be so accessible. We are incredibly lucky as a country to have the park system that we have and I want people to not take it for granted. Go see it. Cherish it. Protect it.

Cash is quickly becoming known as a comedian who is not JUST funny. He’s got a lot to say and to him, the message and the meaning are the most important parts of the art form. Cash has been called the “anti- Larry the Cable Guy”. He tackles the heaviest subjects from death, loss, divorce, racism, homophobia and war and does so with surgical precision that takes the audience on a poignant, emotional roller coaster while never sacrificing the humor or levity that makes comedy what it is.

When asked what his goals are for his comedy and for The Blue Ridge Parkway Comedy Tour, Cash pauses and smiles “I want to make people think, people who agree with what I’m saying and those who don’t. I wan’t them to reconsider what they woke up thinking. I want us all to reconsider what it means to be a southerner. I want to make people rethink southern comedy. The south is a beautiful and complex place. We have some painful and heavy history but there are millions of kind, loving, brilliant and beautiful people in the south who very much want to move forward not backwards. Those people aren’t acknowledged enough. They are the ones at the party not being talked to. I want my comedy to speak to them. I want to inject levity into the dark places and the heavy topics and I want joy to win. I want us all to try and feel better and try and be better and to be better to one another and ,by all means, to go outside. There is so much beauty in this world. Go get lost in it. Let it heal you. It is the second best medicine. You know what the best medicine is. Come see a show.”

BIO, VIDEO AND OTHER INFO:
—————————————————

Cliff Cash is the funniest guy you haven’t heard of (yet). His style of comedy truly embodies the “new south”.
A south yearning to be seen as more than camouflage and racism, a generation of young Americans bucking the often archaic values and dogma they were raised on. His brand of humor fearlessly tackles subjects of racism, homophobia, greed, war, loss, death, divorce and the danger of ignorance in pop culture and music. One moment he’s using a satirical uber conservative redneck character to illuminate the fallacies of the far right talking points. The next moment he cleverly dissects some of today’s most absurd rap lyrics. Cash remains dynamic and unique from the time he steps on stage until he says goodnight. When he’s not on stage, Cliff spends most of his time in nature. He’s on a mission to see #everynationalpark and put a million miles on his Mercedes wagon that he essentially lives in #miIlionmilemercedes. In 6 short years Cash has racked up an impressive list of credits for a comic not living in a major market. Including:
NBC standup for diversity
Comedy Central Sirius XM
Rawdog Sirius XM
Laughs on FOX
Comedy Central UpNext
Port City’s Top Comic
Comedy Zone’s Almost Famous winner
SLO Comedy Festival best of the fest
Houston Whatever Fest
Cape Fear Comedy Festival
Norfolk Comedy Festival
208 Comedy Festival…

He was the creator and manager of the Sick of Stupid Comedy Tour that sold out iconic Comedy rooms like the Atlanta Punchline, Asheville’s Mill Room,The Comedy Attic and many others.
