đđ€Ą APRIL FOOLâS DAY WEEKEND â NO JOKES, JUST LAUGHS đ€Ąđ
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Amityville, New York, Jamie gained an interest in comedy after being crowned âFunniest Personâ by his senior class in High School. It was then that he realized that comedy was where he belonged and hit the pavement convincing audiences one joke at a time. His first major win came at Stand Up NY, where he convinced the judges and won his next title, âFunniest Person from the Suburbsâ. He continued pushing forward, making strides in the comedic world with performances in New York City Tri-state area, Hollywood and Atlanta. Jamie broke barriers by becoming the first non-Latino to produce the Latino Laughter Comedy Show at the New York Comedy Club. In addition to producing the show, he also hosted it each week. This experience opened the door to him producing a string of independent shows in the New York Tri-State area, as well as a national college tour titled âOne Night Stand Comedy Tourâ. The tour supported and educated students about safe sex through stand up comedy.
Since then, heâs wowed hundreds of audiences and has been featured on MTV, Tidal, XM Radio, The Grio, The Root and New Yorkâs 770 WABC Radio. He added actor to his resume with roles in such popular shows and movies as NBCâs Law & Order and HBOâs Paterno, along with numerous commercials. He was even a featured cast member (along with his girlfriend) on the FYI Networkâs A Question of Love and is now in production for their own follow up show. Presently, Jamie is the Executive Producer and host of New Yorkâs longest running Sunday show, Sunday Night Live. He is also the Founder and Executive Director of Comedy With A Purpose, a business in which he uses comedy to address some serious social matters. Through Comedy with A Purpose, Jamie has helped raise funds for organizations such as Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation (CAASE) and Northwestern Universityâs Entertainment Alliance. Thereâs no stage too big and no feat unconquerable in Jamie Robertsâ world. With his clean-cut good looks, insatiable charm, and cutting edge comedy, heâs certainly the one to watch for.
