Establishing himself as a clean comic, his down home southern humor has made him a favorite in the nation’s top comedy venues. From intimate comedy clubs to sold out crowds at Madison Square Garden, the Universal Amphitheater and the Lincoln Center, Rickey’s unique style of humor resonates with his audiences unlike any other comic on the road today.

Best known as host of the 2000 season of BET’s ”ComicView”,Rickey led the show to its highest jump in ratings in the show’s ten-year history. In his personal life, he finds time to devote to church, to charities, to the Big Brother Program and to family.

Smiley’s characters have become his comedic trademark. From Bernice and her church announcements to Coach McClainy and his lack of motivational skills, Rickey’s audiences can’t seem to get enough of him.

The top comedy club chains in the country consider Rickey a high commodity. The Improv, The Funny Bone, Zanies, The Comedy House Theatre, Carolines on Broadway and many other clubs list Rickey as one of their favorite comics to work with because of his “laid back” personality. It is this same personality that has led him to upcoming meetings with New Line Cinema to discuss making a feature film based on some of his characters such as Bernice Jenkins.
