Rory Scovel

Rory Scovel earns my respect for sheer persistence. From his 2011 album Dilation through a string of stand-up specials, he keeps refining his craft and committing it to lasting form, which is a different talent from simply landing a laugh in the moment. As a comedian, actor, and writer working in his own distinctive, experimental voice, he clearly values risk over safety. Stand-up is a brutal trade, demanding you win a live room with nothing but yourself, and Scovel keeps diving back into that danger. I admire anyone who repeatedly chooses that exposure, and his Greenville grit shows.
