| About Me | www.sugaseanriley.com Born first generation Trinidadian American, in Brooklyn NY in 1978. Both my mother and grandmother raised my younger brother Robert and I.

I had no choice but to be funny, making fun of myself is how I made others feel comfortable around me, one of the tools that grandma taught me. I was also influenced by my mother who sang at church, weddings, and any event she was given a microphone. She showed me stage presence and the confidence of standing in front of people.

While it helped me financially, I was still in love with comedy and I practiced my bits on anyone who listened. Considering this was a tough audience because money made these guys laugh it made me work harder to crack a smile on their faces. After a few years in Wall Street, I decide to quit my day job and go for the gusto and do my comedy act full time. Although it was a rough road with my wife, sheryl and three wonderful children, the support they gave made me better and better everyday. I did stand up and open mics at any opportunity I got. Since then Comedy has awarded me the opportunity to travel the world. islands like Jamaica Trinidad. I have done show every were from nyc to la . open up for concerts and roles in independent films .
