Joey Camen built his reputation on a fascination with the human condition—channeled through standup comedy, voice acting, filmmaking, and writing. At just 17, he left Detroit for Hollywood, and within months had become one of the youngest professional standups at the legendary Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip.
Early on, he caught the attention of Daws Butler, the legendary voice behind Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hfinn, who mentored him and helped sharpen his gift for characterization. That mentorship proved crucial. As a voice actor, Joey's worked on everything from video games like Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Brütal Legend to being the official voice of McGruff the Crime Dog.
His standup career has taken him to top clubs and colleges nationwide, opening for icons like Richard Pryor and Marvin Gaye. On screen, he's appeared in American Pop and Cool World, but he's also a filmmaker—his short "Bernie - a love story about a man and his mattress," which he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in, won Bronze at the Houston International Film Festival.
What really sets him apart is how visual and physically inventive he is on stage. He's often compared to Eric Bogosian and Jonathan Winters, and there's something almost impossible about watching him work—audiences genuinely struggle to believe all those voices and characters are coming from one person.
Beyond performing, Joey's also written several feature screenplays. His screenplay "JOHN LEDGER" was optioned with Tom Sizemore attached to star.
