Hometown: Orange, NJ Day Job: Comedian A naturally funny performer who describes her comedy as "exciting, electrifying and in-your-face," Roz is a rising star whose resume includes performances on television, in top comedy clubs and as the opening act to comic stars like Jamie Foxx, Bret Butler and Cedric the Entertainer. The Newark, New Jersey native, who was raised in Orange, New Jersey, has appeared in "Jamie Foxx's Laffapalooza 2006," BET's "Comic View 2005," VH1's "Sixteen Candles Reunion" and "From A to Z," as well as Comedy Central's "Premium Blend." She has performed in top comedy clubs across the country, including Caroline's on Broadway, the Laugh Factory, The Improv and The Comedy Cellar, as well as Harlem's Uptown Comedy Club and Atlanta's Uptown Comedy Corner. Roz won the New York "Comics on Fire" comedy competition, as well as Newark's "Bud Light Comedy Competition" and the "Tom Joyner Comedy Competition," and was a finalist in the "Def Comedy Jam" contest. She has also performed at universities all over the country. In addition to being a comedian, Roz also has ten years of experience traveling the country as a motivational speaker on 12-step programs and women's issues. A fan since the first season of "Last Comic Standing," Roz says, "I wanted to be on the show to showcase my talent to the world. This is the best comedy show ever, so why should the best not be showcased?" Interview Why will YOU be the Last Comic Standing? I am talented, funny, lovable, marketable and a great representative for the show. Funny is... Roz What comedians do you admire and why? Sam Kinison did not give a damn [and had] earthquake-great material and stage presence. Moms Mabley talked about her real life experiences. Joan Rivers [because she's] witty and outspoken. Who do you see as your biggest competition? All of the contestants. They are all super talented and anyone can win. What's the worst job you've ever had? My worst job was working at an assembly line where I had to separate material and throw them in barrels. |
