The moment Rolyn Lewis takes the stage he defies expectations. “This tough-looking presence comes up and immediately the audience expects a hard edge,” says the soft-spoken 6’3” stand-up comedian. “I don’t use profanity and I’m not aggressive on stage. I’m just myself.” Rolyn’s been actively appearing in local comedy clubs for four years and also owns a moving company, Howard Moving Systems. He participates in a weekly St. Petersburg basketball league and enjoys working out.

I am a male Feminist because ...

“... I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by amazing women my entire life. From my feisty Italian grandmother who went to school even though her parents didn’t believe girls needed book-learning to my former boss at the city of Tampa, Mayor Pam Iorio. I’ve seen the power of womanhood from a front-row seat.”
