A Rising Star CT Gets Special

Affion Crockett—actor, comedian, executive producer—set out to hunt down comedy’s next breakout stars. He found three: fearless, unfiltered, hungry for their shot at a debut special. But if you’re looking for the one to watch? You can’t miss CT. That’s Clayton Thomas, for those keeping it formal. 

Here’s the deal: CT doesn’t just command a stage—he drops a comedy bomb on it. Hand him a mic and he spins the whole room around, leaves you clutching your sides and grinning three days later. After sixteen years in stand-up, he’s destroyed rooms everywhere from Detroit to Dubai. And he’s just warming up. 

When he’s not onstage, he’s lighting up TV studios. Eight seasons writing and acting in Bounce TV’s FAMILY TIME, scene-stealing on shows like ALL RISE, MODERN FAMILY, INSECURE—you name it, he’s done it. He crushed at HBO’s ALL DEF COMEDY, and for the last four years, he’s been on the road with Martin Lawrence for the LIT AF tour. Not too shabby, right?  

But CT’s secret weapon? His ride-or-die FamBase, #TeamCT. This isn’t just an audience—it’s a movement, with more than two million fans tagging along for the wild sketches, viral quick hits, and the JustUSLeague podcast. If you catch a “all daaaaay!” chant rolling through a club, you know CT’s in the building. Every bit of grit and hustle in his act? Pure Detroit, just like him. 

​Here’s the thing: CT does it all—stand-up, scripts, podcasts, the whole nine. And yet, he still makes you feel like family. So if you see #TeamCT trending or hear his chant at a show, do yourself a favor: don’t keep scrolling, don’t keep walking. Watch the man cook. Microphone Masters, Season Two, Episode One: keep your eyes glued to CT. If you get the chance to see him live, grab it. You’ll be talking about it for weeks. CTisDope.
