John Heffron is an American stand-up comedian, who is best known as the winner of the highest rated season of NBC’s hit reality competition "Last Comic Standing."

His first break was branching into FM radio, serving as Danny Bonaduce’s wingman on Detroit’s number one morning show. In the television world, he has made multiple appearances on "The Tonight Show," "Chelsea Lately," "The Late Late Show," HBO, FX, VH1, A&E, and CMT. Additionally, John has taped two separate Comedy Central specials and has an hour special, “Middle Class Funny,” on Netflix. Heffron has also produced four albums, a best-selling advice book "I Come To You From The Future: Everything You’ll Need To Know Before You Know It,” and his latest special with Brad Paisley, “Comedy Rodeo,” which just launched on Netflix.
