Jimmie Roulette was born in Baltimore, Maryland, number four out of five children. His large family of five afforded him many opportunities for behavioral problems including pranks that came easily and usually went undetected.

Always the last chosen for sporting events (usually wearing Prowings tennis shoes), JIMMIE substituted humor for sliding into home plate. By the time he reached highschool he was razor sharp, ready for the world with a quick wit and slick tongue. Following in his father?s footsteps, Jimmie joined the U.S. Army immediately after highschool, and once again had many opportunities for behavioral problems, however this time they did not go undetected. After a brief stint with Uncle Sam, JIMMIE began a comedy career in Austin, Texas, where he is a house feature when he's not on the road.
