ROD LONG, Stand Up Comic, Fine Art Photographer and Writer
Always the consummate jokester from infancy, Rod began dabbling in stand-up comedy professionally while living in Los Angeles, where an uncanny impression of Muhammad Ali promoting bug killer got big laughs -- and he became hooked on facilitating laughter. He started working sets in Los Angeles before moving back to Seattle in 1982 and quickly becoming very popular in Northwest and Canadian comedy clubs.
Rod won the 1987 Seattle International comedy Competition and the 1998 "Emerald City's Funniest Person" contest. He has been seen on the Showtime Comedy Club Network -- twice -- and has performed at Caesar's Palace, Caroline's, the Comedy Underground, and many other venues throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan. He is co-host of The Seattle P-I's annual "Sports Star of the Year" with Steve Raible and the color commentator of the annual "Detlef Schrempf Celebrity Golf Tournament."
Rod most recently opened for The Temptations and has done so for many other greats including, Lou Rawls, Smokey Robinson, Arturo Sandoval, Eartha Kitt, Bobby Hutchinson, Ray Charles, Jerry Seinfeld, Marsha Warfield and the late, great Bill Hicks.
Satisfied corporate clients include Microsoft, Boeing, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle/King County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Port of Seattle, The Seattle P-I, Seattle Police and Fire Departments, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean Cruises International; benefit performances include the Charles Barkley Foundation, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and the Make-A- Wish Foundation.
"Just wanted to say we had a great time Saturday
night and Rod was super! He was a great guest before, during, and
after the performance. He met the bill to a T—exactly what
we needed ."
