JOE TORRY

 Joe Torry was inducted into the hall of fame in 2006 with legendary comedians such as Richard Pryor, Jerry Lee Lewis and Bill Cosby and has planted an indelible mark on the world of comedy. His off-the cuff brand of comedy is authentic and has made him a living legend.

Look for Joe in the upcoming feature film “Soul Ties with Terri Vaughn, Joe will also be reoccurring as Chandler Bishop on Cinemax in the seduction drama entitled the “Jump Off” premiering in April 2012 and he will be taping a Comedy DVD in March called “Laugh In Yo Face” which will be filmed in Dallas, TX. As the former host and one of the most memorable comedians of HBO’s Russell Simmon’s Def Comedy Jam, Torry has become well-known and respected for his comedic style. He garnered this title, because unlike most comedians, Torry doesn’t pre-rehearse his script for stand-up, he uses the audience to unleash his raw, unfiltered and witty comedic style. His ability to connect with audiences from various backgrounds and leave them in stitches has led to an illustrious career and opened the doors of unbelievable opportunity.

Prior to achieving world-wide acclaim from his days as the formidable host of Def Comedy Jam, Torry had already made his mark in the world of comedy and the big screen. Torry starred in many box office hits including House Party 1 & 3 with Martin Lawrence, Strictly Business with Sam Jackson and Halle Berry, Tales from the Hood, Motives 1 & 2, Mansfield 12, Sprung with Tisha Campbell and most notably from his role in John Singleton’s Poetic Justice featuring the remarkable Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur. Torry has also made a name for himself as a stellar actor appearing in such re-known television shows as E.R., NYPD Blue, Dangerous Minds, and Navy NCIS.

Known for his capricious personality as a stand-up comic, audiences quickly embraced his talent. But his world-wide audiences weren’t the only ones welcoming his star-power; many major corporations such as Anheuser Busch, Pepsi and Nike recognized his value and turned his talents into major endorsement opportunities to expand their value and market share.

This universal appeal led Torry to his latest venture with Universal Music Group in which he is one of very few comedians who’s been given the opportunity to release his very own ringtones. Using his unique voice, Torry has borrowed famous quotes and characters from his stage performances and created uniquely hilarious voice tones that user can download to their cellular phones available on all major carriers at www.getmusic.com , Your local carriers site and also www.ringtonejukebox.com . Instead of using the same old songs that everyone one has set to their ringer, users can tickle their tummy with Torry Tones For Your Funny Bones. These hilarious voice-tones such as “Who’s the Man,”, “I got your money” “Ghetto-Girl,” “Muffin Man,” “Queen,” and “U Aint Gon’ Call Me Back?” will leave the users laughing hysterically. These tones are currently being used in various mixx tape series around the country.
