Juston McKinney

Juston McKinney is a former Maine deputy sheriff turned comedian with deep ties to family and friends in Lewiston. This show is part of a tour of all 16 of Maine's counties and is called "Deer, Moose, Ticks and Hicks: Real Stories of the Rural Patrol."

Juston grew up on the border of New Hampshire and Maine and currently lives in the Granite State with his wife and their children. After earning an associates degree from the very prestigious Southern Maine Community College, he was hired as a deputy sheriff patrolling the same border in which he grew up. But in 1997, Juston turned in his gun and badge and left the dangerous streets of rural Maine and moved to the quiet community of Queens, New York. While living in NYC he worked his way into the weekend line-up at Comic Strip Live, Stand-up New York, Dangerfield's, Gotham, and Caroline's on Broadway.

Juston has appeared on "The Tonight Show" under two separate hots (both Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien) and he toured as part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour "The Next Generation." He has numerous appearances on Comedy Central including his own half-hour special.
