Using his Southern "good ol' boy" persona to first charm his audience, Vic wins them over entirely with his well-crafted humor. His improvisational ability, quick wit, and high energy have earned him the reputation as one of the country's fastest rising comedians.
Vic's show covers a variety of topics including current events, sports, religion, relationships, and politics. He is able to entertain diverse audiences all over the world as evidenced by his appearances at Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and Edinburgh, Scotland's Fringe Festival.
Scotland on Sunday says, "This stand-up from America's deep south is giving rednecks a good name again with his sharp, political material and a pleasing audience rapport. London's Sunday Times quotes, "There's something about his smooth southern drawl and beaming face that makes everything sound like a little message of love. Bless him."
A native of Oxford, Alabama, Vic graduated from Auburn University and headed to Phoenix for a career as a stockbroker. His attention turned from finance to funnies when he entered and won a comedy contest at a local nightclub. He began working the comedy club circuit and eventually moved to New York, which led to his first television appearance on the CBS Morning Program. From there, Vic had numerous appearances on Star Search, Fox's Comic Strip Live, A&E'S Evening at the Improv, Caroline 's Comedy Hour, and Stand-up Spotlight with Rosie O 'Donnell.
Vic headlines the nation's most prominent and popular comedy clubs. He also works extensively in the corporate market, where he recently co-hosted an event with former president George Bush. On college campuses he has performed over 500 shows and been nominated for comedian of the year five times. In addition, he has been the opening act for Ray Charles, David Sanborn, Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, Warren Zevon, Dennis Miller, Dana Carvey, Michael McDonald, Curtis Mayfield, Frankie Valli, Ben E. King, Alabama, and Brooks and Dunn, just to name a few.
Besides performing, Vic has co-authored the national bestseller Games Rednecks Play with fellow comedian Jeff Foxworthy and has authored his own book Things You Don't Expect Southerners to Say.
