The story
What do you get when you mix rich, southern Black culture, an unfettered curiosity, and Taco Bell? Stacey Harkey.
Raised in an LDS family in Dallas, Texas, Stacey studied communications and business at BYU before pursuing the only logical career — comedy. He was an original cast member of Studio C, co-founded JK! Studios (that's us!) in 2018, and has discovered that he gets the most out of life when he's not only cracking jokes but working to make his community a better place for everyone.
He works with local non-profits like Equality Utah, runs personal training and fitness classes (cycle, lifting, HIIT), leads corporate trainings and inclusion workshops, experiments with high-protein recipes, and is renovating a camper — which, we cannot stress this enough, is a real second-career-level commitment. You can also catch him on Hecklers, the JK! commentary series where he and Whitney roast much-loved franchises (recent targets: Rings of Power, Madame Web).
Behind the scenes
Stacey is the cast member you want at your dinner table, your gym, your community board meeting, and somehow all three on the same Tuesday. The energy is unfair and we're not going to apologize for him.

"Anything where the punchline lets him cook — usually literally."
