BIO:

Charming, sturdy, and armed with an aggressively good-natured wit, Paco Romane is a comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster based in San Francisco. With appearances on Comedy Central, HBO, NBC, Drunk History, Nickelodeon, NPR, and Funny or Die, Paco has carved out a reputation as a versatile comedic powerhouse. His style — described as “loosey-goosey, improv-heavy, and rifftastic” — blends quick crowd work, hilarious true-life storytelling, and a knack for spinning the absurd into the relatable.

Romane’s comedic prowess has earned him accolades from The San Francisco Chronicle and Spinning Platters, which hailed him as “smart, silly, fast, and funny” and declared him “one of the greatest Bay Area comedians.” NPR recently echoed the sentiment, calling him “hilarious and at the top of the comedy scene.” A regular at SF Sketchfest and Outside Lands, Paco has shared the stage with legends such as Robin Williams, Norm MacDonald, Ali Wong, and Nate Bargatze, cementing his place in the comedy world.

Beyond stand-up, Paco has made waves as an actor and voice-over artist. He appeared in the Academy Award-winning film Milk and has collaborated with icons like hip-hop legend E-40, NBA star Klay Thompson, and the inimitable Mr. T. His voice-over credits include Pandora.com, Little Caesars, Roku, and an upcoming Pixar project.

Whether headlining comedy clubs nationwide or popping up in unexpected Hollywood moments, Paco Romane delivers a uniquely entertaining mix of charm, humor, and boundless creativity.
