I'm Roz Browne
Comedy Dynamics · 2024 · 61 min
A veteran character actor delivers an overdue hour of autobiographical stand-up.
Released , on Comedy Dynamics.
Roz Browne spent years working clubs and television roles before putting an hour on tape, and she performs with the patience of someone who is never in a rush. The strongest material leans directly into autobiography: trading her career as a corporate accountant for comedy, surviving a household of seven children in Boston, and getting bussed out to the suburbs during the school desegregation era.
Directed by Andre Campbell and released by Comedy Dynamics in October 2024, the hour documents the biographical set she spent decades sharpening. The second half turns toward familiar club territory, covering an overbearing mother, an elusive father, divorce, and her dog Tipp.
Browne was already familiar to television audiences from recurring roles on Baskets and Curb Your Enthusiasm, along with decades as a regular at the Comedy Store.
