Grown up on this side of Gueydan, Blake Hebert has been an amateur comedian since 2011. He grew up listening to the likes of Murray Conque, Dave Petitjean, and Ralph Begnaud. His family has always been comical and were a big influence on him; “Laughter was rampant growing up! Good jokes and tough skin.” He’s an avid fisherman and hunter. Golf and cooking take up the rest of his time; “I love a good drink and a laugh while cooking.” He’s Cajun to the core and loves our heritage.
