“I grew up in a town so small, we didn’t have a town drunk—we all took turns.” Billy Wayne Davis delivers these wry observations with the precision of a seasoned raconteur. The Crossville, Tennessee native brings his Southern-tinged storytelling to The Secret Group in Houston on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $20.
Davis, a fixture in the comedy circuit for over two decades, blends observational humor with a satirical edge. His Houston show follows the announcement of a new comedy special set for release later this year. “I’m excited to share this new material; it’s some of my best work yet,” he told Comedy News Daily.
Davis first gained national attention on “Last Comic Standing” in 2015 and solidified his reputation with a stand-up performance on “Conan” in 2016. His specials, such as “Billy Wayne Davis: Live at Third Man Records,” highlight his knack for spinning tales both personal and political, often nodding to his Southern roots. These performances are available on Third Man Records and Amazon Prime Video.
Whether dissecting Southern culture or sharing personal anecdotes, Davis’s shows are known for unpredictability and intimacy. The Secret Group’s intimate setting is ideal for his conversational style, where his sharp wit shines.
For those eager to experience Davis’s new material live, this Houston show is not to be missed. Get Tickets
