Saturday Night Laughs with Jamie Roberts & Friends
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Amityville, New York, Jamie gained an interest in comedy after being crowned āFunniest Personā 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, āFunniest Person from the Suburbsā. 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 āOne Night Stand Comedy Tourā. The tour supported and educated students about safe sex through stand up comedy.
Since then, heās wowed hundreds of audiences and has been featured on MTV, Tidal, XM Radio, The Grio, The Root and New Yorkās 770 WABC Radio. He added actor to his resume with roles in such popular shows and movies as NBCās Law & Order and HBOās Paterno, along with numerous commercials. He was even a featured cast member (along with his girlfriend) on the FYI Networkās 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 Yorkās 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 Universityās Entertainment Alliance. Thereās no stage too big and no feat unconquerable in Jamie Robertsā world. With his clean-cut good looks, insatiable charm, and cutting edge comedy, heās certainly the one to watch for.
Leonard Ouzts
Comedian Leonard Ouzts, a native of South Carolina and current resident of Chesapeake, Virginia has been funny as long as he can remember. A young man who grew up in the country life of the South says that keeps him humble and allows him to appreciate the finer things in life. In high school, Leonard enjoyed playing football and during a road trip from the State Championships, he knew heād found his calling.
Leonard joked everyone on the bus ride the entire time. Leonard was mentored by great Comedians such as Micah āBamm Bammā White, Bodacious, Angus Black, and Alycia Cooper. āMy mentors have all taught me a ton of good information and always pick up the phone when I call,ā says Leonard.Leonard started doing comedy on a broader level in 2001, hitting the stage locally, and then traveling the region. His act is primarily centered around everything from family, to current events, and the things he notices while walking down the street. Leonard takes an approach to comedy that is real and thought-provoking all while having his audience spill over in laughter.
Leonard has goals to entertain all across the country and take comedy by the horns. His long-term aspirations include acting, major tours, and possibly writing a book about his experiences. āI love entertaining, but what I found most gratifying is when I was 18 years old and performed a 5 minute set in a club in front of 125 strangers. At the end of the show, a 47 year old gentleman told me he lost his job and his home, but all my jokes somehow made him forget all that. That will stay with me forever.ā
