  • Byron Bowers

    Stand-up

    Byron Bowers is an actor, stand-up comedian, writer and producer who can currently be seen in the Apple TV+ limited series LADY IN THE LAKE alongside Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram. He also served as a consulting producer on the project.

    In 2022, he released his debut comedy special SPIRITUAL N***A on FX/Hulu, directed by Har’el. In this deeply intimate hour, Bowers talks about the stigma of mental health, how tripping on psychedelic mushrooms made him understand his schizophrenic father, and how it altered the way he feels about his blackness.

    Film credits include Steven Soderbergh’s crime thriller KIMI for HBO Max, opposite Zoe Kravitz; Steven Soderbergh’s NO SUDDEN MOVE for HBO Max starring Benicio Del Toro and Don Cheadle; Ricky Staub’s CONCRETE COWBOYS for Netflix starring Idris Elba; and Alma Har’el’s award-winning HONEY BOY for Amazon, starring Shia LaBeouf, Lucas Hedges, and Noah Jupe.

    Television credits include Olivier Assayas’ limited series IRMA VEP for A24/HBO, starring opposite Alicia Vikander and executive produced by Sam Levinson; Lena Waithe’s award-winning original Showtime series THE CHI; and in Donald Glover and Janine Nabers’ series SWARM on Amazon opposite Dominique Fishback.

    Originally from Atlanta, Bowers currently resides in Los Angeles.

    As a writer, his work has been published by the New Yorker, the New York Times, the New York Review of Books, the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Chicago Sun-Times, Weekly Humorist, Lit Hub, and McSweeney's.

Repeatedly lauded for his "big, expressive eyes," Vulture called him a "great comedian," GQ Spain anointed him a "brown Steve Carell," Radio Canada dubbed him a "modern Mr. Bean," the Toronto Sun hailed him as Canada's next great comedy talent - the "next in line" after Mike Myers and Jim Carrey, Ottawa Life Magazine said that "his self-deprecating manner and friendly stage presence make him highly likeable," and the Kingston Herald described him as a "veteran performer who's at ease as he hilariously interacts with the audience, making it feel as though you're hanging out with a really funny friend."
    As a filmmaker, his short films and music videos have received over 80 awards and distinctions from the likes of Disney-ABC, NBC Universal, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Athens International Film Festival, Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, the Boston Comedy Festival, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian Comedy Awards, and the National Screen Institute of Canada. The Playlist called him an "up and coming talent on the Canadian film scene," Film School Rejects said his work was "riotously funny, with a narrative flair that makes one hope he has a feature coming soon," CinemaSinema lauded his ability to "squeeze more heart from an 11 minute short film than many Hollywood directors can muster from feature length pictures," and Radio Canada gushed that he was "a kind of Seth MacFarlane - someone extremely multi-talented who can write, direct, and act."
