Rodney Perry has had the opportunity to learn the business of Comedy from some of the best. His first job in Hollywood was serving as writer/warm-up guy for Kym Whitley’s show “Oh Drama” on BET. Doors continued to open for Perry as he got opportunities to serve as opening for the likes of George Lopez, Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey. The relationship that would prove to be the most poignant would be the one between Perry and Mo’Nique.

The first time Perry ever spoke to Mo’Nique, she offered to take his wife on a shopping spree. Rodney says, “That was the day I met my personal angel, my sister.”

They would go on to perform all over the country and to share microphones on syndicated radio as well. When the Radio Show ended Mo’Nique told Perry that bigger and better things were coming. That thing happened to be the Mo’Nique Show on BET.

Perry’s comedy career has given him many opportunities, from his work as Co-Host of the Mo’Nique Show to his starring role as Harold in “Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family.”

Even though Perry is becoming a sought-after actor and host he is and always will be a comedian first.

Currently, Perry is preparing to shoot his first comedy special for television entitled “Rodney Perry All The Way LIVE!”

Comedian Sheryl Underwood LIVE at Tempe Improv on April 13-14

Sheryl Underwood will bring her stand-up act to the Tempe Improv on April 13-14 - two shows each night! The Tempe Improv is located at 930 E. University Dr, Tempe.

Sheryl is one of the boldest and most brazen women in comedy. In her comedy act, Sheryl dares to discuss sex, politics, current events, relationships and adult conversation.

Sheryl has a down-to-earth nature, and uses humor to give examples of her points of view. With 15 years of comedy experience and a Master's Degree under her belt, Sheryl has the ability to get an audience to understand what she is saying even if they don't agree with her opinion.

Currently on tour throughout the U.S. and Canada discussing male-female relationships, this sexually progressive, God-fearing conservative republican, usually elicits bold testimonials from even the most conservative of crowds. She has appeared in the feature films Bullworth, Beauty Shop and I Got the Hook Up.

In 2011, she joined the popular daytime show The Talk in its second season replacing Leah Remini.
