Stand-up
Desi Banks is a multi-hyphenate powerhouse—actor, stand-up comedian, podcaster, and entrepreneur—whose viral storytelling and high-energy stage presence have made him one of comedy’s most in-demand headliners. The CEO and founder of Desi Banks Productions, he has built a digital-first empire rooted in original comedy, community, and culture.
On the road, Banks continues to scale—currently touring nationwide with his Your Favorite Cousin Tour. He previously sold out his 50-city headline run (nearly 52,000 tickets sold) and has shared stages with comedy heavyweights including Mike Epps, DeRay Davis, Kountry Wayne, Gary Owen, Lavell Crawford, and Martin Lawrence.
His organic rise, from daily sketch comedy to sold-out theaters, has been fueled by relentless consistency and an unmistakable point of view, turning online moments into must-see live experiences.
Banks’ talent has caught the attention of comedy’s biggest names, including Kevin Hart, who has praised him as a “next great” talent. His momentum has translated to major brand work, including a Hartbeat-produced Super Bowl commercial for DraftKings, as well as partnerships with top brands such as Meta, Apple, Beats by Dre, PrizePicks, Casamigos, Red Bull, and DoorDash.
On screen, Banks continues to expand his footprint as an actor. In 2025, Variety announced Desi Banks is developing sitcom project with BET Studios, loosely inspired by his stand-up, which follows a comedian balancing fatherhood, relationships, and his rising career. His credits include an upcoming role in action-comedy Boyz Trip, as well as previous appearances in One of Them Days (2025), Will Packer’s Little, the indie-horror feature Haunted Trail, Love by Chance, and La Vie Magnifique de Charlie, which showcase a range that matches his onstage charisma.
A prolific creator and collaborator, Banks has produced 3,500+ original videos and built a massive digital audience of 19M+ fans across social. Through Desi Banks Productions, he develops original comedy and partners with emerging creators to bring his signature point of view to audiences online and on stage.
