There’s
a funny man that has been on the block for quite some time now whose name is Rome. Rome is 38 years of age from Brooklyn, New York. He has been making
y’all laugh for over 15 years in the making. He started in New York and hit the
stage for the first in the Military. Who knew that cracking jokes in the platoon
will take you to the limelight.
Rome
moved
on doing film and television work like commercials and what have you. Having an
open mind and nothing on his plate besides the Military that made him realize
that he wanted to take the comedy route. All his comedy that makes you laugh
comes from real life experience. To Rome
that is where the true funny lies. Rome
takes things he has gone through mixes it with his though and if you take
his personality you get the funny man himself.
The
biggest comedy influence on Rome is
the ole so hysterical Chris Tucker. Rome
enjoys Chris’ style and personality, as do we all. Dave Chappelle also came up in the interview as an influence. Kevin Hart in the opinion of Rome and all news outlets is the most successful
in the comedy industry today. No one can compare to Rome’s love of Chris Tucker or mine.
Most
importantly, Rome knows that he
doesn’t sound like anyone else. Which is how one should think and believe. He says
that when you start off you try to sound like someone else because you want to
fit in. He admits that he tried it, but quickly came to his senses that…it wasn’t
the way. It was not who he was nor who he wanted to be.
Who
Rome is as an individual is what
makes his comedy unique. There is truly no one like him. The way he brings it
to the stage and makes everyone in the audience like as one. You step in the
room and you feel welcome with Rome.
His incredible personality that lights up a room even when he’s calling you
out, makes you want more and never want to leave.
If
you are having a bad day or a terrible week he will turn it all around. From
the beginning to the end of every show there is never a dull or dry moment. He likes
to go the opposite direction in his mind because just like everybody he sees
things differently. As an audience member or someone in the crowd Rome hopes you get from his show that
life should never be taken too seriously. With the tough times in life and
throughout personal issues if you don’t take anything else with you take that
you should allow yourself to laugh at it.
Rome
has
had to endure family issues, financial issues, and getting himself out there in
life which all made the road a bit bumpier. He says that comedy is a very sensitive
thing, which he is right about. He came to say that as a comedic you must
believe in yourself and know what you have is funny. Rome thinks that you never get the love and support that you truly
deserve which is what you battle with repeatedly, no matter how big your name
is. At times, you feel rejected which is what you’ll deal with emotionally
because sometimes what you say doesn’t get received correctly.
Stick
with it even if you feel you are not worthy. Be persistent and consistent
because everything has a time and a season. Look over rejection because it is
being heard and well received. Being heard and getting booked for shows is a
difficult endure Rome faces in the
comedy industry. There is more to being funny.
If
he could collaborate with Dave Chappelle
and of course, Chris Tucker he
would. That should even help him move his work to the top. He feels they are in
tune with what he likes and his style. Rome
is most proud of the longevity, Good
Times, his standup comedy show. It has been going on for 2 years now. He is
also most proud that he got a chance to tour internationally, The European Tour
to be exact. In all that, he is most proud of his career and the shows he has
done as well.
Rome
is
still here in the comedy business and clearly, he is not going anywhere. So,
watch out now! Rome has audios for
your pleasure being worked on as of now. So, be patient…good things come to
those who wait. Check him out on Instagram at: romeskingdom,
but prepare yourself for as he is getting ready to drop a thread of videos that
will knock your socks off. You can see him every Tuesday at the Good Times
Comedy Show around 8 o’clock pm at the Rumi Café Studio at 13368 Ventura
Blvd. in Sherman Oaks, California.
Things
are unfolding, so get on board and enjoy the ride because Rome is taking over!
Watch
out Kevin Hart!
