Who Is Kountry Wayne?
If Kevin Hart skipped auditions and went straight from viral clips to self-financed films and Netflix specials, you'd get Kountry Wayne.
Born DeWayne Colley in Millen, Georgia, Wayne first chased a rap career. But everything changed after a socials video he posted unexpectedly blew up, pushing him straight into the comedy spotlight and kicking off his nonstop digital rise.
Wayne’s trademark is daily, sitcom-like sketches that blend laugh-out-loud humor with addictive melodrama. His videos have ongoing storylines, familiar faces, and cliffhanger endings that keep viewers hooked, posting as many as 750 episodes a month on YouTube alone. He’s turned everyday life scenarios into binge-worthy content, earning a fiercely loyal fanbase along the way.
But Wayne isn’t just a digital comedian—he moves seamlessly between social media and traditional media. He’s independently financed his own films, like the comedy-drama That’s Her, regularly sells out national stand-up tours, and now has comedy specials on Netflix with another on the way at Amazon Prime.
Whether he's dropping a new sketch series online, packing theaters across the country, or bringing his storytelling style to major streaming platforms, Kountry Wayne perfectly represents the modern creator: innovative, ambitious, and always genuinely connected to his audience.
