Rodney Carrington is a celebrated comedian and recording artist whose blend of humor and music has resonated with audiences across the country. Born and raised in Longview, Texas, Rodney’s career took off with his major label debut, "Hangin' With Rodney," in 1998. This album, featuring memorable tracks like "Letter to My Penis" and "Fred," quickly sold over 475,000 copies, marking the beginning of his rise as a comedic voice for the middle class. Known for his signature black cowboy hat, boots, and Texas twang, Rodney continued to release successful albums such as "Live," "Morning Wood," "Nutsack," and the double CD "Greatest Hits," the latter earning a RIAA certified Gold Record and nearing Platinum status. These albums kept his fans laughing and solidified his place in both country and comedy radio formats. From 2004 to 2006, Rodney starred in his own network comedy show, "Rodney," on ABC. He credits the show with invigorating his career and sparking new creative energies. The end of the series allowed him to return to the road, where his closeness to his audience became apparent. Rodney's comedy is deeply rooted in personal experiences and relatable struggles. His stand-up routines often draw from his family life, including moments with his three sons and reflections on marriage. As he says, "I think anyone can identify with this material, especially women. Married men really tend to let themselves go." In 2007, Rodney embarked on one of his busiest years with the release of a new album, "King of the Mountains," the first in over four years. He followed this with a Comedy Central special, his first live concert DVD "Rodney Carrington Live at the Majestic Theatre," and his book, "Coming Clean." This period also marked a robust return to touring, with full schedules keeping him connected to his fans across major cities. Rodney’s work continues to find humor in themes like drinking, fighting, and the challenges of maintaining a long-term relationship. His success is driven by an authenticity that resonates with his audience, leaving them feeling as though they know him personally. Despite his acclaim, Rodney prefers to stay grounded, residing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and avoiding the traditional entertainment hubs of Los Angeles and Nashville. As a Pollstar Top 100 grossing concert act since 2001, Rodney’s staying power in the comedy world is a testament to his talent and his ability to connect with people. Through laughter, Rodney Carrington has carved out a unique space in the entertainment world, all while staying true to his roots and to the humor that has defined his career.
