With his place cemented as one of the true legends of comedy, comedian Bruce Bruce continues his career as one of the best in his craft. With a recognizable name and an impressive reputation, Bruce’s steady style of comedy has been showcased across the country – on stage, on TV, in film and on the written page. His wit, ability to improv, and infectious personality set him apart from other standup comedians. Although known for his adult comedy, Bruce prides himself on not using vulgarity to win a laugh. He is no stranger to winning over new audiences - young, old, from all backgrounds - with every appearance he makes.

Bruce is one of the nation’s favorite standup comedians and most recently was seen on Bert Kreischer’s Fully Loaded Tour”, "LIT AF Tour" with Martin Lawrence, "The Real Mike Epps Tour,” and the “Royal Comedy Tour” with Sommore. When not on tour, Bruce can be found performing at premiere comedy clubs across the United States. He is also featured on the Netflix original comedy series “Family Reunion” as "Brother Davis", a hilarious foil for Loretta Devine's character. He is shooting his Neflix Special this May in Chicago and is due out in the fall of 2025.

Bruce has also been making appearances on national podcasts including, “Club Shay Shay,” with Shannon Sharpe, “85 South Podcast,” with DC Youngfly, Chico Bean, Karlos Miller, and “Net Positive” with John Crist.

On the feature film front, Bruce has made cameos in Ice Cube’s “XXX: State of the Union”, “Idlewild,” and “Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.” He also appeared in the Steve Harvey comedy “Think Like a Man,” the Chris Rock- directed, “Top Five,” and most recently in "The Trap," "Undercover Brother 2," and “Miracles Across 125th Street” with Nick Cannon.

In addition to standup comedy, film and tv, Bruce Bruce can also add author to his list of credits. Penguin Publishing released Bruce’s first memoir Baby James Brown, which regales its readers with hilarious stories from his childhood and experiences that shaped Bruce Bruce into the comedian he is today.
