MiniBio

Joey Bragg, the talented actor and comedian, kicked off his entertainment journey at a surprisingly young age. You see, Joey Bragg was already diving into the world of stand-up comedy during his early teens, showing a passion for humor that would shape his career. Born in Union City, CA, back in 1996, he started writing jokes when he was just 12 years old. And get this—after receiving an encouraging note from his comic idol, Pete Holmes, Joey Bragg took the leap and made his official stand-up debut by age 13. That kind of early drive really set the tone for what was to come.

Before long, Joey Bragg was sharing stages with big names like Tim Allen, Dane Cook, and Nick Swardson, building serious momentum in the comedy scene. But it wasn’t long before acting called his name. His first on-screen role came in 2012 with “Gulliver Quinn” on Disney XD—a pilot starring Jon Heder as an adult going back to seventh grade (talk about a wild concept!). Though the show didn’t take off, it opened doors. That same year, Joey Bragg made his big-screen debut playing Magoo, the nerdy cabin mate, in “Fred 3: Camp Fred.”

Now, here’s where things really picked up for Joey Bragg. He created and hosted his own chat show on Awesomeness TV’s YouTube channel, showcasing not only his comedic chops but also his charisma on camera. This led to his breakout role as Joey Rooney—the lovably awkward younger brother of the twin sisters—in the popular Disney Channel series “Liv and Maddie,” which aired from 2013 to 2017. Fans really warmed to Joey Bragg in that role, and he even reprised the character for a fun guest appearance on another Disney favorite, “Jessie.”

Not one to slow down, Joey Bragg continued expanding his resume. In 2016, he starred alongside internet stars Nash Grier and Cameron Dallas in the film “The Outfield,” where they played high school baseball players navigating their final year. Then, later that same year, Joey Bragg took center stage in the Disney XD TV movie “Wild Ride.” In it, he played a geeky student who ends up becoming the chauffeur for the most popular girl in school—despite not knowing how to drive! It’s exactly the kind of quirky, heartfelt role that suits Joey Bragg perfectly.

From stand-up stages to sitcoms and silver screens, Joey Bragg has steadily built a diverse and impressive career—all before even hitting his 30s.

Trivia

While Joey Bragg continues to explore different roles and genres, these two films represent the high and low points in terms of critical reception during that time. As Joey Bragg takes on new challenges in the industry, fans remain curious to see how his future work will compare to these earlier entries in his filmography.
