Penguin Publishing released Bruce's first memoir Baby James Brown, which regales its readers with hilarious stories from his childhood and experiences that shaped Bruce Bruce into the comedian he is today.

Bruce's comedy can be traced back to when he was working as a chef directly out of high school, entertaining his customers with his humor while cooking up mean BBQ dishes. He then worked as a Frito-Lay salesman and managed to get hired to do standup comedy sets for their corporate meetings.

Eventually, Bruce brought his comedy routine to the Comedy Act Theater in Atlanta, where he instantly became an audience favorite. When BET's "Coast to Coast" came to town searching for talented up-and coming comedians, Bruce was selected and ultimately appeared on the show three times.

He has made guest appearances in music videos with Ludacris and the Ying Yang Twins (after being named in their hit song "Salt Shaker"), Quad City DJ's "Come On Ride the Train (Ride It)"and Outkast's "So Fresh, So Clean." Most recently, Bruce appeared in the KEM music video, "You're On My Mind."

With great skill, Bruce easily weaves real life situations into comedic stories. He is a frequent guest on national radio shows and podcasts, including Kevin Hart's "Comedy Gold Minds", Marc Maron's "WTF," "85 South Show," with DC Young Fly, and Netflix's "Strong Black Lead."
