Meet the Playerz – September Edition: Steve Roney

He’s the “everyman” player that fans find so amazing, maybe because he looks likes everyone’s friendly next door neighbor or your kids’ soccer coach—only a heckuv a lot funnier. The “Jimmy Stewart” of ComedySportz, Steve Roney has been making our fans laugh for over eight years and he never fails to disappoint. Often the lynch pin of his team, Steve can go from playing the straight man to goofiest character on stage at the drop of a hat. That’s why he’s September’s Player of the Month!
