Chaz Rodgers discovered comedy the same moment he discovered he wasn’t destined for NFL greatness. At 18, while his peers in Lansing, Michigan were growing into potential defensive tackles, Chaz’s 5’7" chubby frame had other plans—making people laugh.
In 2006, Chaz took his comedy dreams to Los Angeles with nothing but determination and questionable survival skills. He spent his first California summer living in a van, perfecting the art of “urban foraging” (stealing lemons from neighborhood trees). As he puts it: “Most people would have gone back home. I stayed because I’m an idiot—probably from playing tackle football since I was eight.”
From homeless, fence-hopping, lemon-eating hobo to rising comedy star, Chaz brings his unique life perspective to stages across California. His comedy draws from his multi-cultural marriage, off-beat family dynamics, and the adventures of fatherhood with his imaginative six-year-old daughter Izzy, who bestowed upon him the royal title “Poppa Princess.”
Chaz’s self-deprecating humor and storytelling prowess have made him a favorite in the LA comedy scene. Whether he’s recounting his van-dwelling days or sharing the latest decree from Princess Izzy, Chaz delivers authentic laughs that remind us all that sometimes life’s detours lead to the best punchlines.
