Roz Browne

Roz Browne has kept audiences laughing since 1992 when she first began to pursue her dream. “A high school teacher told her she can make a lot of money as a CPA. So that’s what I did. Then she found out later that the teacher was just kidding,” states Browne who performs regularly at the world famous Comedy Store and at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood. Taught by Gary Austin, founder of The Groundlings, Browne has excellent improv abilities and has been steadily making her presence known in Hollywood.
A graduate of the University of Southern California, Browne is a former Certified Public Accountant who was a Tax Specialist for the now defunct Arthur Andersen & Company.

Shortly after Comic View Browne found success in both Los Angeles and New York City, with appearances in the Toyota Comedy Festival, and multiple appearances on ABC’s The View and B.E.T.’s Comic View. She continues to perform in the world’s best comedy clubs including The Improv, The Comedy Store and the legendary Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
