About

roger-paul-150x150Roger Paul began his career as a Talent Agent for Variety Artist in Minneapolis, MN where he managed and developed their College Division. After developing a strong reputation, Roger received an opportunity with American Talent International (ATI) as a line producer, and also became responsible for pioneering such shows as Night Flight, Heartlight City, Radio 1990, and TV 2000 for the USA Network. Joining Brian Winthrop at BWI as a college agent for personal appearances upon ICM’s purchase of ATI. Spotlight Entertainment, the # 1 comedy agency of that time then lured Roger away. There he worked with artists such as Paul Reiser and Jerry Seinfeld.

As an entrepreneur at heart Roger then found the timing right to venture out on his own to form the Roger Paul Agency, and develop Que Locos which were the first Latino standup comedy shows to hit TV. ICM noticed this great success, and brought Roger back into corporate life as manager of their east coast comedy division. Here he was responsible for booking such comics as Jay Leno and musical acts like The Beach Boys and Bryan Adams. And finally to create something different, Roger gathered a team in New York and Los Angeles, to launch Roger Paul Inc. After over 20 years of experience, persistence, and natural talent, Roger remains a true force within the industry.
