Putting on for his local community he has hosted and MCed thousands of events locally, performed at family reunions and class reunions, and is the Original host of Soul Sunday Nights with songstress CeCe Teneal. An Orlando Catalina neighborhood native (Jones High) and Bethune-Cookman University Alumni, Rod Zeigler got into comedy during a 1994 talent show at Bethune that had technical difficulties and delays; he ran on stage to calm the crowd through random Jokes and cracking on people. The next day Friends told him he should consider Comedy as a profession and worked to formulate jokes on his own. His first paid act was at a 1995 Delta Sigma Theta (DeltaAlpha) social, leading to other on campus events and the gleefully humble feeling that "they're actually paying me". He soon got business cards made and advertised as a clean comedian, as Bethune Cookman didn't permit profanity (and still doesn't). Since then his brand was formed and he has soared upward ever since performing his first major show in hometown of Orlando at Bob Carr Performing Arts Center in 1996. Rod-Z had produced two comedy DVDs in rotation and adores hosting Church & Gospel events nationwide. Loving what he does, in his Own Words "Best part of comedy is the people you perform for. Making a room full of people laugh and smile - there's Nothing like it". Rod Z can be contacted for booking by phone at (323) 732-6474 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
