New York Hampton Alumni Club Women’s History Month Comedy Show
Rolonda Watts – Comedian | Actress | Iconic Voice
From talk show royalty to stand-up stage queen, Rolonda Watts brings powerhouse energy, razor-sharp wit, and decades of Hollywood experience to every mic she touches. Best known as the host of the long-running, Emmy-nominated “Rolonda” Talk Show, Rolonda has turned her legendary voice and charismatic presence into a second act on the comedy stage — and she’s not holding back.
With TV credits that span across daytime, primetime, and voiceover hits, Rolonda has appeared on shows like “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” (Disney+), “Good Girls” (NBC), “The Resident” (FOX), “Criminal Minds” (CBS), “Greenleaf” (OWN) and dozens more. She’s also the unforgettable voice of Professor Wiseman on "Curious George", and narrates shows like “Judge Joe Brown” and “Divorce Court.”
A graduate of Columbia University's School of Journalism, Rolonda traded news desks for punchlines — and now brings grown-folk comedy to stages across the country. Her material blends bold social commentary with hilarious takes on love, aging, culture, and the chaos of reinventing yourself at every stage of life.
Whether you know her from TV, voiceover, or viral stand-up clips, one thing’s for sure — Rolonda Watts is not your average comedian. She’s a force. A trailblazer. And always, unapologetically funny.
