Born in New Jersey, raised in Atlanta, and, in 2012, the winner of Houston’s Funniest Person, Broussard isn’t exactly sure where he’s from.

He has appeared on Adam Devine’s House Party, The League, and The Mindy Project. He was featured as a New Face at the 2015 Montreal Just For Laughs Comedy Festival where also was runner up to Jimmy Carr in the International Roastmasters Invitational.
