Sea stories. School stories.
Same trauma.
Cayce Mautino spent 21 years in the United States Navy — rising to the rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer — and came out the other side with more stories than a therapist wants to hear. Now he's turning all of it into comedy.
Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Cayce trades sea stories for school stories as a middle school teacher in rural Oklahoma by day and stand-up comedian by night. His sets draw from 40+ years of lived experience — military life, marriage, parenting a daughter, and the daily miracle of surviving middle schoolers.
Smart. Grounded. Real. Cayce's comedy hits because it actually happened — and he lived to tell it.
1° of Separation — Suicide Prevention & Mental Health
Cayce is a recurring performer with 1 Degree of Separation, a program that uses life-saving comedy to deliver suicide prevention and mental health training. Combining his military background and lived experience, Cayce brings both humor and heart to one of the most important conversations we can have.

Headlined alongside the Teachers Gone Bad tour across Oklahoma and Texas. Also performed in FL, TN, CO, NC, MO, TX, AR, and KS — including The Grove Comedy Club (Lowell, AR) and Goodnights (Raleigh, NC).
'Comedy Comes 2 Cleveland' — Firefighter Fundraiser
After wildfires swept through rural Oklahoma during spring break, Cayce organized a benefit comedy show to support the Cleveland Fire Department — firefighters who worked around the clock in extreme conditions as high winds fueled dangerous flames. Past shows have also raised money to pay off student lunch debt, provide holiday gifts for students, and stock a school clothing closet for students in need. For Cayce, patriotism isn't just words — it's taking care of your community.
