Billy Griffin
Billy was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Raised in an Irish Catholic family and being the only boy out of four kids surely helped mold his unique sense of humor. Football was his life all the way through college, where he played quarterback at Ohio Dominican University. Most QB’s throw touchdowns, but Billy decided to rebel and excelled in throwing the ball to the other team. Realizing he wasn’t that good at football, he turned his focus to where he naturally excelled most: eating fast food. And also making people laugh. He started his comedic training at The Second City in Chicago, IL. He is a graduate of the improv program there. He continued his improv and sketch education at The Second City in Hollywood. He graduated from the Conservatory Program in Hollywood, where he met a couple of his writing partners he continues to work with today. Billy’s first stand-up show was in April of 2014 at a restaurant in a strip mall. That’s where he found his love for telling jokes on stage. He has since performed at comedy clubs in the Midwest and all around LA, including doing shows regularly at The World Famous Comedy Store. Billy’s acting career started when he booked a national commercial in the fall of 2014. Since then, he has booked spots in TV, film, and many commercials.
