Scotty Jernigan (FEATURE)
Scotty Jernigan is a stand-up comic from Panama City, Florida, who started in NYC, where he developed a style that’s been described as cerebral one-liners that make you think. He is a regular feature for Panama City Comedy and performs at Beaches Comedy Club when he’s not traveling the Southeast region. He recently performed in the 2024 Sand Up Comedy Festival hosted by Laughing Skull and Panama City Comedy. When Scotty’s not on stage, you can find him doing characters for his son and reading about odd animal facts.
