Caleb Hearon

Hearon was born on January 24, 1995 and grew up in a rural, conservative town: Brookfield, Missouri. He was raised in a Christian household and was an active member of his church. He recognized he was gay from adolescence and, as a result of his religion, struggled with his sexuality. Hearon came out as gay after college. Hearon attended Missouri State University as an undergraduate with plans to eventually enroll in law school or another graduate program. He joined the improv team and that catalyzed his decision to pursue a career in comedy. After graduation in 2017 he moved to Chicago with other members of the team. Hearon's professional comedy career began in Chicago, where he performed a weekly variety show at iO Theater as well as a stand-up show, At What Cost?, every month at Lincoln Lodge. He later toured the showcase At What Cost? with fellow comedian and collaborator Holmes Holmes in Los Angeles and New York.
