Who Casey Rocket is

Casey Rocket is a stand-up comedian, now based in Chicago, whose comedy began in the pool halls of South Georgia before he moved on to the Atlanta comedy scene. After moving to Texas in 2021 he won the inaugural Austin Comedy Competition and joined the first class of Door Guys at Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership, and in 2024 he was named a regular on the live podcast Kill Tony, performing with it at two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and at the Kia Forum.
