Aziz Ansari is an award-winning actor, director, writer and comedian. He co-created, writes, directs, and stars in the Netflix original series MASTER OF NONE for which he has won two Emmy’s for Outstanding Comedy Writing as well as Emmy and DGA Award nominations for his directing. In October of 2025, he will release the film GOOD FORTUNE which he wrote, directed, and costars with Keanu Reeves and Seth Rogen. He is also known for co-starring in NBC’s PARKS AND RECREATION and for being one of the few headlining comedians ever to sell out Madison Square Garden. In 2019, he released his 5th standup for Netflix entitled RIGHT NOW directed by Spike Jonze to critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination. His latest special NIGHTCLUB COMEDIAN is now streaming on Netflix.

Although much of his life story is sketchy, we know that he grew up as an only child in Decatur, GA, played baseball and football, got married, had two kids, and worked at many unusual jobs, including stand-up comedy.  Ricky made his TV debut way back in 1990 on A&E’s Comedy on the Road. For the next ten years Ricky headlined comedy clubs, delighting audiences with his unique style and humor.  In 2000 Ricky became the featured comedian in the Nashville-produced musical variety show at the Alabama Theatre (One the Show) in Myrtle Beach, SC. He developed a following among locals and tourists, and began performing his sold-out one-man shows twice a year there and refrained from touring.
