After several years performing in New York City, actor/comedian HAYES HARGROVE has headed back to his comedy roots in Los Angeles where he honed his sketch writing and improv skills with the famed Groundlings. Currently at the Upright Citizens Brigade, Hayes recently hosted their signature show Asssscat 3000 with members of SNL, 30 Rock, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report.

Hayes can also be seen flexing his acting chops on screens big and small. The Austin Film Festival hailed Hayes' first feature film, Beyond the Pale, as an “off-beat performance that reminds you of Andy Kaufman.” Hayes recently co-produced Fingers co-starring Ben Daniels (Jeff Daniel’s musician son) which screened at the Hamptons and Nashville film festivals. Hayes just wrapped production of the short films Chestnut Hills, High Maintenance, and Take My Wife, and the feature films Starlight & Superfish, and Art House, where Hayes stars opposite Wendi McLendon-Covey (Reno 911), Tim Brennen (Hancock), Greta Gerwig (Greenberg), and The Godfather of Punk himself, IGGY POP!

In addition to performing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Hayes also frequently stars in national commercials including a recently banned Miller Lite spot with Goodfellas' Mike Starr and Frank Vincent. Oooh...controversial!!! Plus be sure to check out Hayes as a nerdy terrorist on USA Network's smash hit Burn Notice.

    Hayes Hargrove is truly one of the funniest humans I’ve ever seen. He’s fantastic with improv, accents, impressions, characters and guitar! A brilliant actor, writer and comedian – I can’t wait to see what he does next. Keep shining on, ya crazy diamond! (So….when do I get the $30 you promised?)

    P.S.: A chef, I could totally see; and a racecar driver…but a therapist? Come on, you’d have to do more listening than talking and being hilarious!
