About

Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Roy started his comedy career in 1999 at the age of 19 while attending Florida A&M University.  Roy's comedy crosses all races and cultural lines, which has allowed Roy to work with an array of comedians ranging from D.L. Hughley, Ron White, Monique, Bill Engvall, and Katt Williams.  In a 2009 piece ‘Entertainment Weekly' described Roy's comedy as "charismatic crankiness".  
 
In October of 2006 Roy made his network television debut on Late Night with David Letterman.  In 2008 Roy appeared on HBO's historic Def Comedy Jam, and this summer was selected by America as one of the top three finalists on The Last Comic Standing on NBC.
 
Roy is an online video blog correspondent for "The Soup" on E! Network. He is also a freelance writer for a variety of morning shows, and his prank calls can now be heard on more than 40 national radio shows, including Jamie Foxx's Foxxhole Radio on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.
 
Roy appeared at the 2006 Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in the "New Faces Showcase" where critics awarded him top honors.  The Hollywood Reporter called Roy a "standout" among all the New Faces of 2006.  The Montreal Gazette said, "Roy Wood Jr. gives tremendous show" taking "the top spot".  Later that year he performed at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival.  In 2009, Roy appeared on the Bob and Tom Radio Show: The Comedy Tour a one-hour special, which aired on Comedy Central.  
 
In 2002, Roy earned a slot as one of ten national finalists in Comedy Central's Laugh Riots competition in Los Angeles.  In March 2003, Roy was selected for Star Search on CBS where he advanced to the semi-finals.  He has also appeared on It's Showtime at the Apollo, Live in Hollywood and the 2005 season of Comedy Central's Premium Blend and BET's Comic View. Roy has also performed on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson and BBC America's The World Stand Up, which was taped in London.
 
He has recorded three nationally-released prank call CD's: My Momma Made Me Wear This (2003), Confessions of a High School Bench Warmer (2005) and I'll Slap You to Sleep! (2009).

    Great Show

    by Hurricane on 3/18/24The Wilbur - Boston

    Opening comics Jason Cordova and Yamaneika really got the crowd hyped up. Then Roy Wood Jr came out and the laughs kept going. Was a good show definitely could use an encore because we deserve more. Thank you to all the comics for the great night.

    by Meachie on 2/18/24Orpheum Theater - Madison

    My husband and I enjoyed Roy but we did not find his opening act funny at all.

    But the venue

    by Kurt on 2/13/24Orpheum Theater - Madison

    Great set. If you're over 6 get tall, get an aisle seat at the Orpheum in Madison.

    Fantastic show

    by Kris10 on 2/13/24Orpheum Theater - Madison

    Absolutely loved seeing Roy Wood Jr live... I was only aware of his work in small clips and bought tickets on a whim. He exceeded our expectations. One of the best comedy shows we've seen in the past few years, and his opening act was fantastic as well!! Would go see him again!!

    Roy Doesn’t Dissapoint

    by Elle on 2/13/24Fillmore Minneapolis presented by Affinity Plus - Minneapolis

    Roy was AMAZING! My partner and I laughed nonstop for 60 minutes. The opening act was good as well. There were two problems: 1) the show started an hour late, and the venue was extremely cold. Everyone had on their hats and coats the entire show. I understand adjusting the temperature for body heat but the Fillmore totally failed. It was 15 degrees outside and felt like 45/50 inside.

    Master of Comedy

    by BlizzBoy5 on 2/12/24Fillmore Minneapolis presented by Affinity Plus - Minneapolis

    Roy Wood Jr. is truly a master of comedy. He delivered relevant, hilarious, and thoughtful commentary on our great nation, the relationships we have with each other, and what we have to blame for societal problems. I laughed so hard throughout the set. The time flew by and I cannot wait to see him again in the future.

    On his way to being one of the greats.

    by Mr. L. Hutz on 2/12/24Fillmore Minneapolis presented by Affinity Plus - Minneapolis

    Roy Wood was fantastic. The Fillmore should consider purchasing seats suitable for concerts, rather than what might work for someone’s wedding.

    Awesome Time

    by Great Show on 2/12/24Fillmore Minneapolis presented by Affinity Plus - Minneapolis

    First time at the Fillmore, had a great time.. the show was awesome, atmosphere was great. I do wish the seating was a bit better, a bit small/close you were sitting on a small wooden folding chair. Otherwise it was a good time.

    Horrible seating

    by Kim on 1/30/24Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    The performers were AWESOME! If it was just on the performance, I'd give five stars. But It's not.. I hate when a venue sets out chairs. It's uncomfortable trying not to touch your neighbor. It's just not enough room.

    I always enjoy Roy Wood!

    by Kitty on 1/30/24Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    I thought he was headlining, had not idea it was a team effort. Still enjoyed. Atmosphere was relaxed. Old National is my preferred venue in Indianapolis.

    Awesome show!

    by Alyssa on 1/30/24Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    The Q&A portion with the audience made the show feel like a really special, personalized experience.

    Good, but hard to hear in the balcony

    by Jdude on 1/29/24Michigan Theater - Ann Arbor

    The exho in the balcony madecit extreamly hard to catch all the jokes and commentary. The seats in the Michigan theater are extreamly uncomfortable.

    Funny & Thought provoking

    by DMax on 1/29/24Michigan Theater - Ann Arbor

    Loved the format of the show. Innovative tag team effort that was both hilarious and thought provoking. Much needed for healing during these times.
