Stephon Hightower is a standup comedian from St. Louis, MO. His journey in comedy began when he was called on stage to do a set by hometown legendary comedian, and activist Dick Gregory. Before relocating to New York City Stephon made a great reputation for himself on the St. Louis scene. His humor has allowed him to appear regularly in comedy clubs, venues, and events around the Midwest. He has worked with well-known names in comedy, such as Roy Wood Jr., Cocoa Brown, Bruce Bruce, Louis C. K., Guy Torry, Joe Torry, and comedy legend Paul Mooney. The website ReviewSTL says, "His material was organically formulated as he shared stories that are definitively homegrown. The crowd responded well to Hightower’s anecdotes that not only revolved around St. Louis – but also deep in black culture."
