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).

Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 5 out of 5 Roy Wood Jr. is fabulous
by Nandrew on 4/16/18The Wilbur - BostonWe loved seeing Roy Wood Jr. at the Wilbur. My husband was practically in tears from laughing. And to top it off, unlike most performers, he was happy to pose for pictures after the show. Great funny guy!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show!
by MelanieMBo on 4/16/18The Wilbur - BostonRon Wood was amazing! We had a lot fun and thoroughly enjoyed the evening!
Rating: 5 out of 5 wonderful evening, tons of laughs
by DizGruntled on 4/16/18The Wilbur - BostonRoy Wood Jr. provided a much needed break from the daily onslaught of breaking news and absurdities. While not completely shying away from current events, his approach is more observational vs. overtly political. I got the sense he is equally fascinated and frustrated with us humans, with our society, something all great comics seem to share. Above all, Roy is very funny. He riffs on a wide variety of subjects, the illusive McRib included. We loved him, highly recommend seeing him, will definitely go again.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Like MacDonald's, Roy Wood is delicious!
by Notsooldbird on 4/16/18The Wilbur - BostonGreat show, including the opening acts. Poetry on the comedy circuit - brilliant! Roy Wood kept us going and I look forward to seeing him again.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Loved it!
by zsazsa1 on 4/16/18The Wilbur - BostonWell paced, thoughtful, so smart and funny. Politically has what I consider to be the correct point of view and used it well, in his comedy. I will definitely see him again when he comes to town. Not to be missed.

by KLC71 on 4/16/18The Wilbur - BostonOpening two comedians were great and when he hit the stage I was laughing from gate. There were times he tackled some serious topics but humor came through! There were some in the audience that left, their loss! Well worth the ticket price. Only complaint is my boyfriend is tall and the Wilbur seats were VERY uncomfortable for him

by Pammijohn on 2/21/18Punch Line Philly - PhiladelphiaRoy Wood, Jr. gave an awesome performance on Sunday night. He's funny, smart and personable. I'm glad I got to see him in a venue the size of Punch Line because I don't think he's long for this sized venue. I think he'll be moving up. And for the record, the Punch Line serves a delicious cheesebuger!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Really funny
by Z1gga on 2/21/18Punch Line Philly - PhiladelphiaOnly issue was I wanted a private table with my wife. Other than that we had a great time and the food was good. Metal detector (awesome) we felt safe.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Funny and Relevant
by WallerMama on 1/2/18Cobb's Comedy Club - San FranciscoGreat show. I'd never seen Roy Wood Jr before but heard him on my favorite podcast, 2dopequeens. His second opener, Kevin Barnett, was so funny that it must've been a little hard to follow him. But Roy was hilarious -- really sharp humor in which he quietly made good, compassionate points about living in our world without ever getting too dark or losing the laughter.

by MelMoc on 3/13/11Gilda's Laughfest - Grand RapidsJust didn't last long enough. was barely 90 minutes long.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Lots missed
by olive1915 on 3/13/11Gilda's Laughfest - Grand RapidsSat in back row of St Cecelia. Sound very distorted. Missed most of Sapp, parts of Feinstein and parts of Wood when they were speaking fast, low, ghetto or black dialect. Kaplan came through loud and clear. His pauses were perfectly timed. Voice tones in higher register were heard. If people noticed, the back 3rd of audience did not laugh as much as the front part during Sapp and Wood's presentation. Too bad we missed so much, but all were funny from what we heard. When Sapp performed, we felt the sound was way too loud and therefore, became distorted, missing most of his jokes.
