Godfrey is a stand-up comedian, actor, and media personality widely regarded as one of the most original voices in comedy. A fixture of the stand-up world for over two decades, he is known for his fearless point of view, incisive social commentary, and elite-level impersonations. His newest hour special REBEL WITH A CAUSE most recently premiered in January 2026 following his half hour Netflix special under Tiffany Haddish’s THEY READY series. His previous specials also include Comedy Central’s GODFREY: BLACK BY ACCIDENT, and Showtime’s REGULAR BLACK.
On the acting front, Godfrey recurs on HBO’s SOUTH SIDE and Amazon’s HARLEM, and appears opposite Gabrielle Union in the Netflix feature film THE PERFECT FIND. He’s also
hilariously recurred as “Plaid Jeff” in Adult Swim’s NEON JOE, WEREWOLF HUNTER, FX’s LOUIE, IFC’s BENDERS, and played the lead in FX’s pilot BRONX WARRANTS. His feature
credits include ZOOLANDER, SOUL PLANE, and the Indie, THREE DAYS IN VEGAS, in which he performed alongside Nicolas Cage. In the unscripted space, he’s co-hosted FOX’S
highly received gameshow, BULLSEYE, opposite Kellen Lutz.
In recent years, Godfrey has experienced significant growth across digital platforms, building a massive and highly engaged audience through stand-up clips, podcast appearances, and viral
moments that regularly generate millions of views. He currently hosts two popular podcasts IN GODFREY WE TRUST and ONE 54, where his candid humor and cultural insight have made
both shows staples in the podcasting space.
Equally celebrated for his impersonations, Godfrey is renowned for his ability to capture voices, perspectives, and rhythms with uncanny accuracy while delivering sharp, original commentary.
Whether on stage, on screen, or online, Godfrey continues to evolve his career while maintaining the authenticity and edge that have made him one of comedy’s most enduring and in-demand performers. He continues to consistently sellout comedy clubs and theaters nationwide and remains one of the most respected live performers on the circuit.
