Laughers, today get laughs, inspiration and behind the scenes takes with Lamont "FERG" Ferguson! Lamont is a Detroit native and now Virginia-based comedian, actor, and writer whose quick wit and infectious humor have earned him stages alongside legends like Kat Williams.
Your host Dawn and FERG dive into his journey through comedy and acting, sharing hilarious anecdotes, hard-won wisdom from the road, and behind-the-scenes tales of both triumph and struggle. They swap stories about reading the room, adapting to different comedy audiences, and how finding your own voice—and lane—is crucial as a performer. Plus, FERG reveals what it's like balancing family life with a busy creative career, producing local shows, and starring in new independent films (spoiler: there are lots of laughs and plenty of honest moments). This episode also features a fun, game-show-style segment where Ferg tries to separate fact from fiction, and he shares tips for aspiring comedians about professionalism, respecting the stage, and the ever-evolving art of making people laugh.
Whether you're a comedy fan, an aspiring performer, or just here for the good vibes and behind-the-scenes laughs, this episode connects you to the heart (and humor) of what Virginia Is For Laughers is all about. So settle in and enjoy the ride—you're part of the family! Cheers!
