Steve Roye’s
Stand-up Comedy Secrets
Steve Roye joined the navy back in 1978 and rose to the top of the enlisted ranks. He returned to San Diego from a tour of duty in the Persian Gulf in 1992, and made the decision to launch a comedy career. A year later, he was the blowout winner of a military comedy competition at Camp Pendleton, the world's largest Marine Corps base.
Almost over night, he had a comedy routine powerful enough to entice large audiences to come and watch him perform. By 1995, he was frequently headlining comedy and concert venues in Southern California and the surrounding states.
Now retired form the Navy after 20 years of service, his comedy career continues to grow beyond his wildest dreams.
