The entertaining, cutting-edge writing and stand-up comedy of Jon Stites reflect the myriad and varied life experiences that have made him both a true social chameleon and a bold and refreshingly unique comedic tour de force. Stites has been a college Spanish professor, a grunt in the Infantry, a brawling bouncer, white collar sales executive and a world traveler to places both glorious and shady as hell. Equally comfortable sipping a martini and discussing world affairs at a black tie gala or a slammin’ a 40 oz at a barbecue in the hood, his simultaneously urban, cerebral, and socially relevant style of expression shatters the monotony of cultural myopia and takes his fans on an intense and irreverent journey of unique self-expression.

In an industry of one-trick ponies, the comedic mind of Jon Stites seems to have no limitations. He is an accomplished blogger, a contributing writer for National Lampoon, an emcee/feature stand-up comic and just finished his first screenplay which is in pre-production. Filming begins in early 2010. And he has also been cast in the lead role. Stites has also appeared on the nationally syndicated programs: the Bob and Tom Show and Your Time with Kim Iverson.

Never content to wait for opportunities to fall into his lap, Stites has organized his own comedy tour, OPERATION COMEDY, in conjunction with National Lampoon, the Indiana National Guard, Budweiser and Cracker’s comedy club. OPERATION COMEDY will hit military bases, comedy clubs and theatres throughout Indiana and the Midwest and all proceeds will be donated to help our service men and women who have been wounded or endured hardship as a result of their heroic service.
