Shawn Philbert

Shawn’s first law firm was his bedroom in his parent’s basement. His father would open the door while still wearing pajamas and his parents would argue about the amount of salt in their lunch, all while Shawn and clients discussed legal matters below them.

Shawn’s love for stand up comedy will lead him to do an amateur night at a Yuk Yuks in the near future. The location of this Yuk Yuks will be in a city far, far away.
