Jaboukie Young-White Prepares for Punch Line Houston with ‘Trash Mountain’ Momentum

Jaboukie Young-White

Caleb Hearon and Jaboukie Young-White, both Midwesterners, team up for a film set in Chicago. “Trash Mountain,” their upcoming movie, has fans buzzing since its announcement in the Chicago Tribune. As Young-White heads to Punch Line Houston on April 10, 2026, anticipation builds.

Young-White, active in comedy since 2013, is a stand-up and TV fixture. Known for sharp social commentary, he tackles race, sexuality, and millennial culture. His stint on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah sharpened his blend of humor and critique, resonating with socially conscious audiences.

Houston audiences can expect a performance that’s engaging and thought-provoking. Young-White’s live shows are intimate and spontaneous—qualities TV roles on “Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens” and “Only Murders in the Building” can’t fully capture.
