Lucas Waterfill
Who Lucas Waterfill is
Lucas Waterfill is a stand-up comedian from Plainfield, Indiana, based in Indianapolis, billed as 'the best writer who can't write', who took part in his first open mic around 2013. His autobiographical comedy makes big points about society while making it plain that he doesn't have the answers either, and he has won several contests, played festivals and opened for well-known headliners.
In August 2021 he won the 'Indiana's Funniest Person' contest at Helium Comedy Club. His debut special, Public Inconvenience, came out on Comedy Dynamics in February 2023 and streams on Amazon Prime, Apple TV and YouTube, and four of its tracks, among them Ken Burns and Progressive Guy, were played on SiriusXM's Raw Dog Comedy channel at the end of September 2023.
