Bio

Full Bio

Comedian Robert Powell III, also known as RP3, started doing comedy in college as a dare and has been doing it ever since. Slowly but surely he’s built up a impressive comedy resume that has included hosting, opening, featuring or touring with the likes of Kevin Hart, Lil Duval, Rickey Smiley, Mike Epps, DL Hughley, Rodney Perry, Cedric the Entertainer, Ron White, plus many more. On the concert side, he has been blessed to share the stage with Ludacris, Fantasia, Monica, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Faith Evans, Webbie, Boosie, Lil Wayne, Anthony Hamilton, Avant, plus MANY more.

He is a member of the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA) and has served as host of the APCA conference in Houston, Texas. Because of the high demand for his quick wit and seemingly innocent blue humor, he branched off hosting numerous Greek shows, but RP3 is a stand up comic at heart. Touring the comedy club circuit and college shows are his first loves.

Robert was blessed to be named Louisiana’s Comedian of the Year three years in a row as well as discovered by Top Executives of Shaq’s All Star Comedy Jam in February 2012 at their first Shaq’s Next All Star Competition making him the first-ever winner of the competition leading to his current spot on the Shaq All Star Comedy Jam Tour 2012/2013.

Robert is the first comic in the history of the tour’s franchise to make his television debut as a Shaq All-Star, the youngest to ever tape for the All-Star special, as well as the first urban comic to make a broadcast debut on the Showtime Network.
