Riley Fox is a comedian and writer living in Portland, Oregon.
In 1988, Riley won AMERICA'S FUNNIEST BABY with a gut-busting impression of a fax machine, and he pretty much coasted on that until November 2008, when Riley began performing stand-up in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. (Thanks, OBAMA.)
In 2013, after five years of telling jokes in comedy clubs, colleges, theaters, cruise ships, music venues, bars, coffeehouses, bowling alleys, pizza joints, and, once, a seafood restaurant, all across the Southeast, Riley moved to Portland, Oregon to see what racism was like up in the Pacific Northwest. Turns out, it's about the same, actually.
Riley's first comedy album UNAMERICAN was released in 2012, and is now out of print. His follow-up comedy album, an EP entitled FURTHER THOUGHTS & PROVOCATIONS, was released in 2013 for free HERE. He is currently preparing to record and release his third comedy album sometime in 2018.
He has performed at the Cape Fear Comedy Festival, the Portland Queer Comedy Festival, and the Savage Henry Comedy Festival. His tweets have appeared in New York Magazine, BuzzFeed, Fusion, Cosmopolitan, Paste, Someecards, E! Online, Gothamist, The Daily Dot, Alternet, Revelist, Huffington Post, Yahoo! News, Exclaim!, Mandatory, Bustle, Mediaite, and, for some reason, Perez Hilton's blog. He is the co-producer and co-host of I'mma Leave You With This, Portland's premiere late-night comedy showcase. In his spare time, Riley enjoys playing drums for the popular rock band RUSH under the pseudonym Neil Peart.
