Monroe Martin MC'ing at Broadway Comedy Club!
He said he should never be working with kids because he looks like a huge child! And he does. He said if you detach his head from the rest of his body, he’s actually adorable! (I’m sure he didn’t mean to decapitate himself, cause that couldn’t be cute no matter who you are! LOL) - NYCW New York Comedy World

Those who are familiar with him and his comedy can safely say that Monroe Martin is one of Philly’s fastest rising comedians. Being as determined as he is, Monroe doesn’t find himself in the category of comics who look at stand-up comedy as just a hobby. Monroe has recently made the jump to being a full-time comedian, that means no part time job, just jokes.
What makes Monroe funny is his wit, which comes out while he’s telling jokes on stage. Being a natural smart-ass, he’ll always have a clever remark to say on any subject that comes up.
What makes him even funnier is his unique style of writing, which seems to come natural to him. While other comics may be working out their material on stage, Monroe will have his polished material ready to be delivered in fashion that will make you think that he’s been telling them for weeks.
Being confident in his work, Monroe wasn’t afraid to make comedy his full time job. After making a name for himself in Philadelphia, he moved to New York, where he quickly gained work in clubs all over the city. - itsalwaysfunnyinphilly.com
