| 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.

There is always material in Brooklyn especially when you grow up a chubby lil boy with big bifocal glasses, wearing a boy scout uniform. 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 .
