(see all)Comedian Shuler King is Keeping Laughter Alive
Shuler King isn’t just a comedian—he’s also a licensed funeral director who grew up in the family business. His parents ran William Streeter Funeral Home in South Carolina, and from an early age, he saw how humor could bring comfort even in life’s toughest moments. His grandfather had a famously dry wit, once joking, “If everything goes right, we should be getting a call” when an ambulance passed by. That perspective shaped Shuler’s comedic style, blending real-life experiences with sharp, observational humor. Whether he’s sharing stories about funeral home life, roasting viral internet moments, or breaking down the best Southern side dishes (mac and cheese is essential), his humor connects because it’s honest and relatable.
Beyond stand-up, Shuler has built a massive online following with his signature “looking” videos, where a single expression says more than words ever could. He’s also known for tackling trending topics, from pop culture to politics, always with his signature wit. At his live shows, you never know what he’ll dive into—crowd interactions, current events, or even why some people insist on putting raisins in potato salad. Shuler also keeps it real about family life, often joking about the ups and downs of raising kids with big personalities. Through it all, his comedy reminds us that laughter can be healing, whether you’re grieving, reminiscing, or just in need of a good laugh.
