Modelface Comedy presents Baron Vaughn

Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This week we have Baron Vaughn from Atlanta!
Baron Vaughn is an actor, writer, director, and comedian. He’s best known as “Bud”, sharing the screen with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin on the hit Netflix series, Grace & Frankie. Baron also lends his voice as “Tom Servo” in the recent seasons of cult-hit, Mystery Science Theater 3000.
He co-created and co-hosted the groundbreaking Comedy Central showcase variety series The New Negroes with Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle. The show shined a light on both established and rising Black artists in comedy and music. Baron’s deeply personal project, Fatherless, directed by the award-winning Dawn Porter, explores the impact of absent fathers on families and communities while he also endeavored to finally connect with his own absent father.
As a comedian, Baron has been entertaining audiences for more than 20 years. He has two comedy recordings, Raised by Cable and Blaxistential Crisis, both available on all streaming platforms. Baron’s been seen on Comedy Central’s The Half Hour and The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, as well as on HBO’s 2 Dope Queens, and TBS’ Conan. Baron has performed at many renowned festivals including HBO’s US Comedy Arts Festival (Aspen), Just for Laughs (Montreal & Vancouver), Life Is Beautiful (Las Vegas), SXSW (Austin), and the New York Comedy Festival. Baron, along with Open Mike Eagle, has also toured the live version of the showcase The New Negroes across the country.
He’s currently working on a solo show titled “Cycle Breaker” commissioned by the Geva Theatre Center in Rochester, NY where he just concluded his time as artist-in-residence.
