Kent Gonsoulin is one of the funniest Cajun Comedians performing today. His unique brand of clean cajun humor keeps audiences laughing across the south.

Coming from a large Catholic family, Kent was always making people laugh at the dinner table and family gatherings with his stories and impersonations. Growing up, he was a huge fan of Bud Fletcher, Redd Foxx and Johnny Carson. Kent’s love for the stage runs in his family. He is a third generation entertainer. His grandfather, Wilton Hebert and his band The Louisiana Six, played dixieland jazz throughout the south from 1923 to 1941.

It was his love of entertaining that lead Kent to enter into talent shows and joke telling contests while in college at LSU. In 1993, Kent got his first big break when he won The International Cajun Joke Telling Contest.

Kent then began performing throughout Louisiana and was featured along with other cajun comedians on the top selling Keyaw Video, The Red Tanny Shoe Tour in 1994.

Kent’s popularity continued to grow and he was invited to perform at Cajun Comic Relief, a charity event for Goodwill Industries for 8 years. It was during this time that Kent began performing to both local and out of state audiences. His venues grew to include charity events, corporate events, conventions, private parties, comedy shows and festivals.

In 2001, Kent released his first CD and followed in 2003 with his second CD "Live, Down on the Bayou". In 2004, Kent released his first DVD, "Kent Gonsoulin, Cajun Humorist". The opportunities kept coming and Kent’s success as a comedian continued to grow. He learned to keep his brand of comedy clean and broad enough to be enjoyed by people in different areas of the country.

In 2005, Kent embarked with fellow cajun comedians, Murray Conque, AJ Smith, Jonathon Perry and Dave Petitjean on the ALL STAR CAJUN COMEDY TOUR playing to hundreds of audiences throughout the south, receiving standing ovations and rave reviews.

Kent’s hard work continues to pay off. He has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs and has been featured in several newspapers and magazines. He has been seen on the "E" entertainment network and has acted in several commercials. Kent has also done voice acting and is the "Cajun voice" for the restaurant chain, Backyard Burgers,. He has also acted in movies such as "The Dukes of Hazard" and "All the King’s Men". Kent has been seen in Branson, Missouri at the Mickey Gilley theater and in the Yakov Smirnoff show.

Whether Kent is performing individually or on tour with the ALL STAR Cajun Comedy Tour, his love for making people laugh is evident. His success as a Cajun Comedian over the past 16 years can be contributed to his love for laughter and his heritage as a true south Louisiana Cajun.
