Robert Powell III is a stand-up comedian and political satirist. Born in Monroe, Louisiana Robert attended University of Louisiana at Monroe before getting his Masters’ degree in Political Science from Texas Christian University. During his 5 years at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, Robert worked for an Assistant to Dr Jeff Hood, Dr Gloria George, Dr Lisa Miller & ultimately President James Cofer. After graduating, Robert immediately began working for the City of Monroe, becoming the youngest member of the Mayor’s Executive team. Robert stayed and worked his way all the way up to Deputy Chief of Staff before moving to Baton Rouge to continue his political career. Robert was named Special Assistant during the Bobby Jindal Administration— an appointed position. Robert also served as Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Labor Johnny Myles Riley, his old boss from the City of Monroe. Even as a rising star on the Louisiana political scene, Robert’s desire to become a stand-up comedian put him at a crossroads, and eventually his superiors at his day job gave him an ultimatum – either comedy or politics. Thankfully, Robert chose comedy. After a few years of paying his dues (which included sleeping in his car and $11 a night motels), Robert was named Louisiana’s Comedian of The Year three years in a row. In 2012, Robert joined the Shaquille O’Neal All-Star Comedy Jam Tour and has continued to tour with this successful franchise every year since.
