Comedy/Performance: Clayton Thomas Wonders, “What’s Wrong With This Crowd?” (Video)
Comedy: All Def Comedy feat. Clayton Thomas (Video)
Okay then! CT funny all day in every way. You’ve seen the sketches. Now boil that hilarity down to a five-minute set and see how it works out on stage. Here’s a hint: Pretty damn funny!
A lot of people don’t know that Martin Lawrence is the reason CT wanted to be a stand up comedian, so for him to be able to do Def Jam is a dream come true and full circle.

Comedy: “Kevin Hart: Irresponsible” Coming To Netflix This April (Trailer)
Okay. So it looks like Kevin is gonna talk about his marriage scandal… pretty bold. But then again, when he got a grip on things he talked about his first marriage’s end candidly; on and off stage. Being able to speak on what most would think should be ‘too personal’ kinda makes a comedian ‘bulletproof’ right? But I remember his cheating and getting caught on tape was off limits (re: his friend Michael Blackson’s comments on the scandal hitting Kevin too close to home when word first got out).
Back on stage. Back to business. On April 2, Kevin Hart brings his sold-out comedy tour, Irresponsible, to a global audience for his first original Netflix standup special. The one-hour special was filmed in front of a sold-out audience of over 15,000 people at the O2 Arena in London, England. Hart touches upon his friends, family, travel… and a year filled with Irresponsible behavior.

Comedy: Deon Cole Admits To Having To ‘Manage His Blackness’ In Public (Video)
Shhhhh… Deon Cole. C’mon son! You telling ’em all the keys to the Culture. Facts though, especially in DC, where even though there are lots of Black folk we cannot always be ‘Black folk’ (yanadameen?). And Deon pointing out that thickness ’round town and in the crowd is 100% factual, too. Bet both pockets that memes like ‘Thicker Than Cold Peanut Butter’ are out there now if not soon, too (haha)!

Throwback/Comedy: Redd Foxx (1978 Standup Performance) [Video]
You’ve probably seen Redd Foxx be hilarious on ‘Sanford & Son’ on TV, or on ‘Harlem Nights’ with an ensemble cast of Black Hollywood through the late 1980s. But have you had the pleasure of seeing the late great comic do a standup? If not, cross it off your bucket list.

Dave Chappelle (Netflix Teaser)
Was up late, as usual, and caught an old rerun of The Chappelle Show. Dave Chappelle is a fool! Remembered that he had something coming up on Netflix. And now… this trailer.
He’s back. And with plenty on his mind. Dave Chappelle returns with two stand-up specials from his personal comedy vault on March 21, only on Netflix.
