ABOUT

Monroe Martin III is a rising stand-up comedy star who mines his laughs from real life — growing up in foster care in Philadelphia and bouncing from one dysfunctional family to another. With a frank, open approach to storytelling and an effortlessly engaging stage presence, Monroe turns a hard-knock childhood into comedy gold.

​

He made his television debut on the eighth season of NBC's Last Comic Standing, where he advanced to the Top 10 and instantly cemented himself as one of the most distinct new voices in comedy. From there he has gone on to perform at clubs, colleges, and festivals across the country.

​

Monroe has been featured on Comedy Central, MTV, and BET, and appeared in Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. His stand-up has been showcased on Kevin Hart's LOL Network, AXS TV's Gotham Comedy Live, MTV2's Guy Code, and across major comedy platforms online — racking up millions of views. He's part of a lineage of comedians from the comedy circuit who've gone on to become household names, and he's positioned as the next to break through.

​

Now a husband and first-time father, Monroe has discovered an entirely new world of material — and chaos. Navigating sleepless nights, diaper changes, and the beautiful madness of new parenthood while still headlining shows across the country, he's found that nothing humbles you quite like a baby who doesn't care about your Netflix credits.

​

The Unsupervised Tour is Monroe at his most unfiltered and most human — a sharp, hilarious, deeply personal hour about what happens when the kid who never had a real family suddenly becomes the head of one. Equal parts stand-up special and survival story, this is comedy that hits different.
