Jeremy Meador
Jeremy Allen Meador (Born January 15, 1975) is an American stand-up comedian and actor. Meador is quickly becoming known for his nervous, harsh and politically incorrect genre humor. A former bouncer and artist, his routines are most often characterized by a nervous style, self bashing and punctuated by his dark take on family and life. He has been called "The Most Censored Man On Facebook" by fans and peers due to having an overwhelming amount of his content pulled from the site for politically incorrect posts and comments.

Early Life
Born in Roanoke, VA Meador is the oldest of three children and the son of Betty and Noah Meador, and his father was a steel worker. The family moved to Hardy, Virginia when Meador was four years old. Meador lived with his mother and two siblings after his parents divorced when he was 12 years old. Meador's mother worked for a local hearing aid manufacturer as a data entry specialist, a paralegal and a debt collector. Meador's father continued work at a local steel mill for 37 years until leaving shortly before his death in September 2011. Jeremy later attended Staunton River High School in Moneta, Virginia and graduated in 1993. Has been employed as a professional wrestler, airbrush artist, bouncer and restaurant owner before becoming a comedian. He started his stand up career on a dare at an open mic on April 2, 2011. That open mic was at The Comedy Zone in Lynchburg, Virginia. Recordings of his early performances show the relentless and unapologetic style that would gain him instant popularity on the local scene.

Career
Meador began his career in Lynchburg, Virginia, where he performed initially at The Comedy Zone in as an emcee. His first time on stage was a Comedy Zone open mic that he went to on a dare by a friend. That night, he caught the attention of club manager, Mike Hall. Hall invited Meador back the next night to perform a five minute guest set in front of a sold out crowd. Immediately after the show Meador, was offered a spot as the club emcee.

While performing several nights a week at The Comedy Zone, Meador accepted a supporting role on "Tuned Out" as "Carl Jeggins", the brother of the show's main character.

On July 16th 2011 in Lynchburg, VA when he opened for Bobby Lee, Meador had been in surgery for a hernia repair just 2 days before and literally tour his stitches open trying to perform. The injury forced Meador to cancel a show days later with Richard Pryor Jr.
