Comedy

Stephen Agyei is a stand-up comedian, actor, and writer from Denver, Colorado. Best known for having the whitest teeth in Denver, he somehow turned a bright smile into a comedy career, becoming one of the city's most sought-after comedians before relocating to Los Angeles. Before Stephen says a word, his face usually says it first. His expressive facial reactions have become as much a part of the punchline as the joke itself. A master of misdirection, Stephen confidently leads audiences down one path before expertly pulling the rug out from under them. Equal parts playful and perceptive, his comedy blends infectious silliness with thoughtful commentary on race, family, relationships, and the awkward realities of everyday life. The result is a style that's as disarming as it is unpredictable—earning big laughs in the moment while leaving audiences thinking long after the show is over. A regular at Comedy Works, Stephen won the club's 2012 Clean Comedy Contest and was a three-time finalist in its prestigious New Faces competition. He has shared the stage with Dave Chappelle, Dave Attell, Tom Segura, Michael Che, Charlie Murphy, Nikki Glaser, Ali Wong, Craig Robinson, Roy Wood Jr., and many more. Stephen's television and voice work includes Abbott Elementary, This Fool, BoJack Horseman, Tig-N-Seek, Just For Laughs Digital, Kevin Hart's LOL Network, Flophouse, and NPR's All Things Considered with Roy Wood Jr. He has also appeared in national campaigns for Realtor.com and Rémy Martin alongside Usher in a commercial directed by Jake Nava.
