Chaunté Wayans, who performs in St. Petersburg, Florida on June 21, 2025.
Chaunté Wayans might be the famous brothers’ niece, but her comedy stands up on its own.

After growing up on the “poor side” of the famous family, she was estranged from her uncle Marlan after they got in a pre-show argument and he farted on her. But they’ve since cleared the air, and she’s made her own big, gay name for herself.

She headlines St. Pete Pride’s Womyn in Comedy show at Museum of Fine Arts next month with the hilarious Paris Sashay.

Tickets start at $20 for Women in Comedy happening Saturday, June 21 at MFA St. Pete.
