Holt Boggs was born and raised in Houston, Texas for the most part. The son of a geologist, he and his family traveled the world for several years living in Africa, Indonesia, Singapore and Jakarta before returning to Texas. Shortly there after, his parents got divorced and he and his little brother went to live with their mother back in Houston.

Always the class clown, Holt first gravitated towards sketch comedy and his ultimate goal was to land a gig on the TV show, 'SNL'. He hit the stage, doing stand-up at the local comedy clubs before auditioning and being accepted into a two-year conservatory program in Dallas.
