You might know this comedian from…
Rocco Stowe is a stand-up comedian with 10 years of hard-nosed experience. He is internationally known on the microphone by doing the Comedy ROK tour in Korea for MWR in April 2010. He started in Los Angeles in 1999 and after 6 months was hosting his own show at the Naked Lunch in Beverly Hills, which tragically ended six months later after he was stabbed in the neck behind the ear by Sticky Fingers from the rap group, Onyx. The stabbing left him with 27 stitches, plastic surgery on his ear, and a busted face. But because of his former 4-year 0311 infantry marine enlistment and being from a blue collar background in Philadelphia, his "never give up" and "what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger" mentality, soon allowed him to regain his composure and go back to his home turf with a new mindset. He hit the scene hard by indulging in the tough urban scene. He did every stage in front of him from halls to dive bars and lounges all over Philadelphia. He then soon became a regular act at the Laff House on South Street. From there, he landed in NYC and South Florida. Rocco is a high-energy comic that can go clean or go south. He can go mainstream or he can go urban. He is just plain out of his mind and caters to any audience, doing set-up/punch-line jokes along with personal stories, and an occasional parody. Who knows what will come out of his mouth next? You’ll just have to see! He has worked and opened with a series of headliners in NYC, L.A., and all of South Florida. He has been booked and paid to perform with headliners including Damon Wayans, John Witherspoon, Orlando Jones, Tommy Davidson (Caroline’s NYC, Stand-up New York, Laugh Factory Long Beach), Bobby Slayton, Jim Florentine, Bruce Bruce, Roy Wood Jr., Bobby Lee, Bert Kreischer (Improvs, West Palm, Miami, Hard Rock) and Mike Epps(Comix NYC).
