Joe Torry is one of the most memorable comedians of HBO's Def Comedy Jam and is still making people laugh on stage and at the box office after 30+ years in Hollywood. Torry has carved a solid niche for himself with his unique style of comedy and doesn't pre-re-hearse his scripts. He uses the energy of the audience to unleash his raw and unfiltered comedic style. In 2006, Torry was inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside legends such as Richard Pryor, Geroge Carlin and Jerry Lewis. In 2017, Torry received the Robin Harris Legend Honor award at the LOL Comedy Honors. Torry's rich history includes television shows such as: "E.R.," "NYPD Blue," "Dangerous Minds" and "Navy NCIS," "The Jump Off a spin-off of the "Zane Chronicles." Torry has starred in many box office hits including: House Party 1 & 3 with Martin Lawrence, Strictly Business alongside Halle Berry, Tales from the Hood, Motive 1 & 2, Mansfield 12, Sprung starring Tisha Campbell and his most notable role in John Singleton's Poetic Justice starring Regina King, Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur. Torry, a “military brat” hails from Saint Louis, Missouri with his five siblings. Growing up, Torry knew he was funny when he would present his projects for show and tell and all the kids would laugh hysterically. It was then he knew comedy would be in his future. Torry currently holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications and Broadcast Journalism from Lincoln University as well as an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters for his work in the Entertainment Industry.
