BIO Propelled by life’s struggles, RAY GRADY began performing comedy in 2002. Many who have seen him perform noticed his ability to make his audience find laughter in situations that many consider painful and saddening. Since his debut 10 years ago, he's worked alongside some of comedy's elite and has held his own. He landed his first televised performance four years after he started as a comedian on the TV One show, "Who's Got Jokes?". That same year, he was chosen to be one of the “New Faces” of Jamie Foxx's

Quickly capturing the eye of those in the know, RAY GRADY is gaining buzz as one of the hottest rising comedic stars to watch. To him, if he can make someone forget about a bill or a problem they may be having, he’s done his job. Displaying characters that remind us of the people we see every day and telling stories that make you feel as if you are there, RAY GRADY has his own flavor. He recently participated in the 9th Annual CBS Diversity Comedy Showcase where he was 1 of 20 people chosen out of 5,000 applicants. He will also appear as a panelist on two upcoming episodes on the new hit show, "Mind of a Man," hosted by Deray Davis on GSN. Ray Grady is always traveling the country with fellow Comedians such as Tony Rock, Corey Holcomb and Mike Epps. He truly believes, "if you are not somewhere laughing, you are somewhere crying."
