BIOGRAPHY
Murray Conque hails
from Carencro, Louisiana, which is located deep in the heart of Cajun Country.
For over twenty-five years he has
entertained audiences at banquets and conventions all across the country from Las Vegas, Nevada to Quebec, Canada. He has
recorded five humor tapes and is the co-author of two popular books, "Cajun Humor", and "Cajun Spices for the
Mind."
You may have seen him on national television, having made appearances on the "Regis and Kathie
Lee Show" and the "Chef John Folse Show." He has also landed one of the major roles in a full length movie
entitled "The Magician King" which was released in the Fall of 2005.
Besides wearing many hats, Murray
also wears a crown. He was named "King of the Cajun Joke-tellers" at the International Cajun Joke-telling Contest.
In 2001, 2002 and 2003 he was voted "Best Local Comedian" by the readers of Lifestyle Magazine and The Times of
Acadiana.

Neville, The Temptations, Hunter Hayes, Mickey Gilley and Ray Price.
In February of 2006, he
was invited to perform at the prestigious Hubcap Comedy Festival in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
He's full of
fun and tells so many Cajun stories, it's hard to pick a favorite. But there is one thing you can be sure of; Murray will
ONLY use warm, clean Cajun humor that is suitable for all audiences.
