Portrait of Troy L. Rawlings smiling

Troy L. Rawlings has spent 25 years in professional comedy and radio — and 30+ years in entertainment.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland and now based in Los Angeles, his comedy is interactive, immediate and built around the audience.

He started in radio with Clear Channel in Baltimore in 2000, took the comedy stage professionally in 2001, and in 2004 turned a book tour with author YONDER into the Taboo Talk Tour. In 2016 he launched a weekday morning radio show in Los Angeles that grew into the Troy Rawlings Live and Meet The podcasts.

He has produced the NBC pilot The Troy Rawlings Show, produced the documentary Where Have All the Fathers Gone, and contributes to Sheen Magazine.

On stage, on air, in print and in the classroom, Troy brings the same thing everywhere: the truth, told funny.

The NOW Story

Why NOW?

“Pull the trigger” is known to start a race. In other terms it has other meanings too — but in the positive sense, it’s all about this: the first one who strikes usually has the attention and the advantage.

Hey — it’s Instagram, not Later-gram.

I noticed a long time ago — be it a DJ back in the ’80s coming up with a mix first, or a dancer coming up with a dance move, or an artist coming out with something new, or a person promoting a party or event — there’s no real estate on ideas. Even now, sadly, sometimes things don’t have to be true. They just have to be first.

But what happens when you come first with some truth — and a whole lot of love, and a whole lot of funny, and a whole lot of encouragement? That’s the basis of Troy Rawlings Now. So as we get it downloaded from above, and as we get inspired by it, we give it straight to you — RAW UNCUT 🤎

Welcome to the movement. Right now!
