I'm from Birmingham Alabama and actually went to the same high school as Roy. I listened to him on the radio on the car rides to that school. I later had to come home from college because I was failing and not motivated at all.. I went to work at Labor Ready. I worked harder than anyone there and earned full time employment with a company. Fast forward about 18 to 20 yrs and I'm doing pretty well in the work force, bought land, had a family, but now getting thru a rough divorce where I'm having to start all over. This reminded me of my journey and that gives me some hope and peace in this stressful time 🙏🏽.. I can do it again 💪🏾.. I really appreciate this story.

And somehow, the funnyman finds a way to make the audience laugh through his pain. Roy’s one of the best comedians in the past 20 years. Comedy comes from those strong enough to find the humor in pain, and this man has made me laugh my ass off while also teaching me lessons that haven’t left my head since. The importance of being nice to people, for example. His delivery is unmatched. He’s worked his ass off to be where he is and there are very few that deserve to reach that level. I’m going to see him live someday, that’s on my bucket list.
