ABOUT US
Dawn and Chris Womack are the dynamic comedy duo behind FWAF [f-wahf] Funny Womacks & Friends. They perform, produce, host, and teach — bringing real connection and real laughs to every stage they touch.
​
As partners in both comedy and life, they’ve built a platform that blends touring acts, local shows, and hands-on classes — all designed to grow the Valley’s comedy scene and connect people through laughter.
​
Chris teaches Kinesiology at JMU. Dawn runs weekly shows at the Comedy Club at Massanutten Resort, FWAF Comedy Classes, and leads projects that weave humor into entrepreneurship, education, and community events.
​
Together, they’ve turned “small-town funny” into something bigger: a growing network of comics, audiences, and collaborators who believe laughter travels and connects wherever they go.
​
Our Comedy Style: Smart, relatable, and joyfully human. We keep it fun—real-life laughs you can share with friends, parents, or even your teenager (depending on the teenager). Edgy enough to keep you on your toes, family-friendly enough you can still invite your parents. (And maybe your kids, but you know them better than we do.)
​
Fun Fact: They also raised a son who made it all the way to the NFL with the New Orleans Saints.​
VISION
