Casey Rocket is an Austin-based comedian who has risen from the ashes of the speed freaks who came before him, bringing a uniquely chaotic energy to the comedy scene. Born in Illinois and raised in Georgia from age four, this southern belle by nature began his comedy career in the pool halls of South Georgia before his riff-flowers blossomed in the fertile soil of the Atlanta comedy scene. Known for his surreal characters, unfiltered absurdity, and deep-cut comedy, Rocket's style is often described as borderline schizophrenic riffing that leaves audiences either completely captivated or utterly confused. After winning the Austin Comedy Competition, he became a cult leader of The Grimby Half-Hour Power Hour and eventually made his way to Austin, where he literally lived in a Walmart parking lot in his car while establishing himself in the local scene. His breakthrough came when he was named as a regular on the wildly popular Kill Tony podcast, where his unpredictable performances and stream-of-consciousness style have made him one of the most polarizing figures in modern comedy. Whether he's downing bottles of Tuss with his biker friends or riffing his stinky little heart out around the country, Casey Rocket represents a new breed of comedian who refuses to be categorized.
