Who is RJ?
A silver-tongued and charismatic rebel, RJ Marchand began performing stand-up comedy seven years ago by sneaking into open mics as a minor in Birmingham, Alabama. His candor and quick-witted retorts to hecklers on stage earned him attention, and he soon began booking comedy showcases. Confident in his presence and opinions, RJ is regarded as a thoughtful comic whose writing elevates personal comfort within discomfort, social commentary, and the edge that reminds you how appealing the unexpected can be.
His storytelling encourages the audience to gain new perspectives by enriching their outlooks and choosing to embrace the comedic lens with all experiences. RJ loves to deliver “ass-crushing” sets that cast a wide net to reach everyone—college crowds, working professionals, and old-school comedy enthusiasts. From metropolitan and rural areas, house shows to comedy clubs, empty rooms to sold out venues, he loves performing comedy and devotes himself to improving.
