Will “Spank” Horton's high-spirited brand of comedy has earned

him the admiration of his peers by winning over fans from

Philadelphia to International audiences across the globe with his

uniquely animated stage shows.

Born in Brooklyn New York, Horton is the son of Crystal

Horton and Troy White. Horton grew up in a single-parent home and

by the time he was two years old his mother moved him to

Philadelphia so she could seek better job opportunities in the big city.

Before comedy became a priority, Horton endeavored to play

for the NBA and played basketball for Simon Gratz High School in North Philadelphia, the same school retired

NBA notables Rasheed Wallace and Aaron McKie played for. The basketball team went on to score in the Top

20 of high school teams in the country during Horton's time there.

Horton continued his NBA pursuit and attended Lincoln University as a Communications major and

played a short stint on the college basketball team. But Horton's acting skills and comic charisma resonated so

much with his professors in his drama classes that they urged Horton to foray into stand-up comedy as a way to

break into acting.

It wasn't until 2001 when a friend dared Horton to take the stage at the Laff House Comedy Club in

South Philadelphia that Horton's love for laughter was ignited to a new level.

Horton is currently one of the most respected headliners in comedy and his career gained major

momentum in 2011 when he was featured in the box-office hit movie Laugh at My Pain, starring comedian

Kevin Hart, a movie based on the record-breaking comedy tour. The movie grossed more than $2 million in its

opening weekend.

Horton made his network debut on BET's Comic View in 2002, just six months after he started his

career as a comedian. Horton went on to perform at various comedy venues and landed a spot on Coming to the

Stage in 2004 and was a semifinalist.

In 2005 Horton was a runner up in the Bud Light comedy competition. And in 2008 he returned to BET

and performed on the One Night Comedy Stand. Horton has also quickly evolved into one of the most popular

and successful college acts, performing at more than 100 colleges and universities. Horton's extensive tour

schedule has taken him overseas and in 2010 he performed for the troops in Korea.

Before his big-screen debut, Horton toured with comedian Kevin Hart and was the opening act on the

I'm a Grown Little Man tour for four years. He went on to open for Hart on the Seriously Funny comedy tour,

and subsequently the Laugh at my Pain and Let me Explain tours. The Laugh at my Pain tour was turned into

the successful full-length feature movie with Horton showcasing his acting skills by performing skits alongside

Hart and other fellow comedians.

Since then Horton has continued to electrify audiences as one of the hosts of the biggest comedy tour

ever, the What Now comedy tour. He also took on a major movie role as a car jack victim in the hugely popular

Ride Along movie. He appeared on two episodes of MTV's Wildin Out and was a recent act on BET's Comic

View hosted by comedianne Sommore.

Horton has been touring with the Plastic Cup Boyz and appeared on the Plastic Cup Boyz Comedy

Special which aired on Comedy Central. He expanded his acting repertoire and also performed in the stage play

Twisted. Some of his other acting credit includes: an independent movie called Sucka 4 Love, and another

independent film called House Sitter in Los Angeles.

Horton's punctuated comedic style and sharp material have proven to be greatly appreciated by his audiences, young and old.
