Friday Luncheon Entertainment: CJ Harlow

Armed with a high-voltage razor sharp wit, C.J. Harlow is disarmingly funny. Very few people have lived through so many unique experiences. Moving from a quiet small town in Hart County to the middle of the hood, serving in the Marines, bicycling across America, starting his own fraternity, has resulted in some original comedy. C.J. can be heard daily on Laugh USA and Blue Collar Comedy on Satellite radio. C.J. has performed for audiences all across the US, USO Tours, Churches and corporate functions and hardly anyone has complained. "Coming Clean" C.J.s first CD is available on iTunes and was voted top 10 comedy albums of the 2012 by Sirius Comedy.
