WHAT MAKES AL FOXX unique in the world of comedy is not
only his routine which gets enthusiastic laughs, it's his life story. In 1980, a
motorcycle crash left Al half-paralyzed and brain damaged. He fought back from his
disabilities and developed a philosophy: "Winners Don't Quit."
Al does comedy routines for Comedy Clubs,
Birthday and Anniversary Parties, Awards and Appreciation Banquets, and Grand
Opening Celebrations.
Al Foxx and Winners Don't Quit Association
provides fundraising opportunities through comedy
shows. Click Here for more information.
In addition to his comedy club appearances, he's frequently hired to give
humorous motivational presentations.

Al Foxx, brain-damaged and proud of
it
SOME PEOPLE SAY HUMOR reflects a high level of intelligence. Al Foxx
wouldn't. He hurt his brain and body in a serious motorcycle accident years ago and has
fought back to where he can laugh at it. He could call himself the world's funniest brain-
damaged comedian and has given inspirational routines at schools.
Limping around on stage (he's partly paralyzed), he said people are
surprised by what he has accomplished.
"People say, 'You can drive?' Sure, you just don't want to ride with
me. I'm the only guy you know who could get a DWI on the way to the bar."
"People say I'm too brain-damaged to have a girlfriend. I can have a
girlfriend. I just can't remember her name."
But she'll remember you, Al. She'll remember you.
