Since bursting on the scene at an open mic event at the J-Spot in Inglewood California in 2011, Comedian Hot Topic is making his a household name across the nation and around the world. His quick wit, non-stop energy and highly intellectual approach, along with a conversational down-to-earth delivery is rapidly catching hold in the comedy world. When he takes the stage Hot Topic sets a comedy pace that keeps the laughter rolling. His comedy philosophy is " Why cry over anything when you can laugh at everything!" From Bossier City Louisiana to the heart of Germany, Comedian Hot Topic says the very things that the audience was thinking, with a clever spin that makes it all hilarious. From haircuts to single parenthood and everything in between, if you've got a topic, he's got a joke. He's performed on lineups with such widely known talent as Sommore and Bruce Bruce of the Royal Comedy tour, Eddie Griffin, Pierre Edwards, and Joe Torry to name a few. He has also been a featured performer on the multi-city "We Got Next" Comedy Series and the Bay Area Black Comedy Festival. His resume also include the European Comedy Tour where he performed two different times for our US troops on deployment. He's performed on numerous cruise ships and several countries including Panama. And the result is always the same: non-stop, side-splitting laughter. Comedian Hot Topic has a style uniquely his own. He is versatile enough to entertain audiences in comedy clubs, military events, family reunions, corporate events or wherever laughter is needed. "Why cry over anything when you can laugh at everything! You got a topic? I got a joke!"~Comedian HOT TOPIC

Bio:
My name is Paul Jairus and i'm a Stand up comic from Arlington, Texas. Comedy is a big part of my life and has opened up doors for other opportunities that i've been apart of. I've been doing stand up going on 3 years now and it's been a true blessing. I recently co-starred in my first film called Streets Of Harvest. It was a ocean rising production and it was an amazing experience. I felt with that momentum it was time to pack up and move to LA which is where I currently live. You can catch me at a mic near your in the Los Angeles area doing what I do best, which is making people laugh
