Justin Cousson

Justin Cousson is a young comedian from Maryland. No other comedian is younger. No other comedian is from Maryland.

A Silver Spring-born and Lanham-raised 19-year-old dynamo of indeterminable ethnicity and questionable ambition, Cousson's style, which fluctuates from laid-back and naive to over-the-top manic has been a hit with college students as well as audiences of all ages and levels of sobriety, having been described by Comcast On-Demand as "sure to entertain."

Cousson has been prominently seen at the University of Maryland, where he founded the stand-up comedy troupe Off the Wall and authored the comic strip of the same name in the University of Maryland Diamondback, reaching a circulation of 17,000 daily. Other venues he has performed at include WMUC Radio, the Baltimore Comedy Factory, the Gotham Comedy Club and Magooby's Joke House, where he filmed two sets for Comcast On-Demand and won their November 2008 New Talent Showcase.
