She saunters onto the stage with a shy smile, old-fashioned Southern charm, and within 5 minutes, you'll feel as if you're at a party, listening to a long-lost friend. René's diverse comedy career includes appearances on Geraldo, Montel Williams, Jenny Jones, Rolando, and ABC’s 20/20. She has opened for recording artists Little Texas, Billy Ray Cyrus, Steppenwolf, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, REO Speedwagon, and Taylor Dane. She also opens and emcees for The Chippendale Dancers and the Suncoast Calendar Men. She has headlined over 500 comedy clubs in the US, Canada, and Caribbean Islands and was the first comedian to perform at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Rene can roar like a lion or purr like a cat (sometimes both at once!). Some have compared her to Roseanne; some say she reminds them of a female version of Ron White. Yet René Bray has her own unique style of smart-talking, wise-cracking, side-splitting comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles!
