Deno Posey: Banker By Day, Comedian By Night

By Je’Don Holloway TalleyThe Birmingham Times

Denorrise “Deno” Posey may be one of the few comedians in Birmingham whose day job pays as much as, if not more than, his side hustle of making people laugh. Posey is a Regions Bank executive by day and comedian by night. And he’s good at both.

“It’s fun, because during the day I get to be this conservative banker and at night I get to have a whole new alter ego in terms of being a comedian,” Posey once told the Birmingham Times.

Posey’s name is often mentioned along with some of Birmingham’s renowned funnymen — actor and radio personality Rickey Smiley; actor and late-night TV correspondent Roy Wood Jr.; business owner and promoter Bennie “Bennie Mac” Holmes; and 95.7 JAMZ radio personality Jermaine “FunnyMaine” Johnson.Posey, 54, made his first official comedy debut more than 14 years ago in a local competition and won the 2011 Open Mic Finale at The Stardome comedy club. He remains a draw at philanthropic engagements, banquets and corporate events throughout the Magic City.
