From the Trailer Park to the Comedy Big Time with Rocky Dale Davis - Ep 131

Crazy Money with Paul Ollinger

Comedian Rocky Dale Davis grew in a trailer park in Brookwood, Alabama. His single mom worked hard to keep him fed and on the straight-and-narrow. After eight years doing comedy, Rocky is headlining all over the country and experiencing his first taste of financial success. So it’s that much more fun to watch me cringe as Rocky tells me that he tries to get rid of money as soon as it comes in and that he doesn’t have health insurance. Rocky has appeared on This week at the Comedy Cellar and Kevin Hart Presents on Comedy Central, NBC In addition to all this, Rocky and I discuss:

• His "abusive, White trash dad"
• Why he went to Mexico to get his teeth fixed.
• Getting into fights at church
