Over the last 25 years, Royale Watkins has worked as a comic, writer, executive producer and director of large-scale comedy based live performance, film, broadcast television and digital projects. As a sought-after comedy writer and production consultant, Royale has established himself as the go to guy for all thing’s comedy and has proven himself just as capable of managing his way around the world of scripted drama.

What separates Royale and Entertainment Solutions from other production companies is his ability to not only plot out staging, lighting, filming and post production, but it is the decades as a writer and working comic that allows him to consult on the writing and structure of client’s sets. There are no other companies that offer this type of soup to nuts approach.

He served as Exec Prod/Showrunner on the BET+ series “All The Way Black” as well as writer/producer on Mike Epps Netflix Special “Only One Mike”.  He provided writer/consulting producer services on the Netflix Special’s “DL Hughley- Contrarian” and “Cedric The Entertainer- Live From The Ville.” He also co-Directed the Netflix Special “Kevin Hart presents Lil Rel Howery- RELevent” and recently re-teamed with Mike Epps, executive producing and directing his most recent special “Ready to Sellout” for Netflix.

He created and executive produced “Kevin Hart’s Halftime House Party” for Facebook Live. The special received over 4 million live views.

He developed and executive produced “Centric Comedy All-Stars”. A series of two-hour comedy specials featuring some of the biggest names in urban comedy. The show aired on the BET/Centric networks and was recognized with a Silver Telly Award. 

His television writing credits include the ABC series “A Million Little Things”, “All of Us”, “Til Death”, TBS’ “Are We There Yet?” and his own short-lived NBC sitcom, “Built to Last”.  His “The N-Word” episode of “All of Us”, directed by Will Smith, was nominated for an NAACP Image Award.
