Roy Haber
Live, Direct, and Playfully Honest
Born In Israel, Roy had your average beginning.
Then, as if the confusion of his roots wouldn’t eventually turn this little fella into a skewed man, his parents pulled a mean trick…
…deciding to raise him in Kentucky.
Pursuing the profession of Stand-up Comedy was only inevitable.
Whether it’s making fun of his height (he’s a shorty, y’all—5’2!), tackling personal issues, slamming an analytical magnifying glass on world events and society in general, or sharing a story from his travels – Roy’s comedy is live, direct, and playfully honest.
Fan’s rave of his wit, and all who have seen him appreciate his will to speak his mind. Though he often leads his audience to the very edge, he shows great tact in realizing where that edge is – and attempts to tread past the threshold only when necessary and never for the cheap, yet often sought-after “shock value” laugh. His set material focuses on self-deprecation, hypocrisy in politics (is that redundant?), double standards in culture, and his ability for story telling of topics that all audience members can enjoy. Not only will Roy’s show have you doubled over with laughter, but it will also undoubtedly move you to thought and reason.
No, really…

Quotes
“Roy’s the only Jewish guy I’ve ever met who looks like he could go undercover and infiltrate a Charlottesville rally without anyone batting an eye … [material] reminds me of George Carlin… serious subject matter with the right amount of silliness sprinkled in.”
-Christopher Titus (Comedian, Podcaster, Actor)
“One of the funniest, original and socially conscious comedians that we know.”
-Rob Haney (Comedian, Former Owner of Wiley’s Comedy Club/Dayton OH, Bob & Tom Radio Show/contributing writer)
“This man is hilarious!”
-Tony Orlando
“He gets funnier and more twisted each time I see him. I truly mean that.”
-Derek Richards (Comedian)
“Roy loves being the center of attention and will do any kind of silly thing to make the other children laugh. He is so capable – I hope this silliness does not continue. It would interfere with his progress in the 1st grade. I hope Roy has matured enough this year to control his behavior. He needs to learn that there are times when it is o.k. to be a clown, but school is not one of those times.”
-Mrs. Goodman (Roy’s Kindergarten teacher)
“Roy Haber uses his stand-up to break down political, religious and social barriers… to help himself and others through tough times.”
-Kentucky Kernel
“He walks the tip of the political edge with the balance of a mountain goat.”
-Peter Sasso (Comedian and Cruise Ship Entertainer of the year)
“If life is analogous to a journey through the forest – and the masses tout “success” as being focused enough to find your way out… then Roy Haber is proudly one of the lost.”
-Doug Lidster
“I ruptured one of my testicles at a Roy Haber show… Second joke.”
-Unknown
So, come on out to the show, warm up your face muscles, and prepare your tear ducts for an evening of hilarity. You’ll be sure to have BIG fun with this little dude!
