He also graced the stage with BET's 106 & Park hosts Terrance and Rocsi. With a wealth of experience hosting collegiate events, step shows, and comedy specials, Robert participated in the "College Kings of Comedy Tour." In 2009, driven by his ambition and passion, he launched his own comedy tour, "Robert Powell and Friends."
