The Black Comedy Experiment

Hey guys, some fantastic comedians in New York have started a blog about the comedy that excludes me. And I am all about exclusivity being that I am still waiting on line every night trying to get into Studio 54. There's still a chance! People, I'm talking about The Black Comedy Project.

Spearheaded by Elon James White who has been making shit happen for a long time with his comedy collective Brooklyn Comedy Company. The blog attempts to take a critical look at where black comedy is heading as well as how it got here. If you want to get right to the salacious posts, i suggest you start with Elon's post about the latest incarnation of Def Comedy Jam. The ridiculous number of comments on the post prove that the blog is making an impact and is definitely worth checking out. (by the way the super-poster Todd Lynn is no stranger to controversy)

They are taking things one step further by announcing a "Black Comedy Experiment" Festival taking place in New York City February 28th–March 1st. It will include all the comedians that rocked your face off during the "4 Shades of Black" show at last year's DC Comedy Fest (Elon, Michelle Buteau, Baron Vaughn and Jordan Carlos) as well as homegrown comedic superstars such as the hilari-train known as Erin Jackson and the hilari-caboose known as Jason Weems. I say let's get the carpooling plans in order sooner rather than later.

Also a side note, I talked to the festival's only white performer, Charles Star, who said that he got in because he has previously performed in one of the festivals shows, "Laughing Liberally." But I still think that it is because of this photo I found floating around the internet. He's gonna get his ass kicked.

(and no Jay, this does not mean we can start our own "White Comedy Project/Experiment Festival," because every day is "White Comedy Project/Experiment Festival" day)

*also, who the hell does your websites because they are soooooo good lookin'. It make me want to flush our website down the toilet. Also, that's not physically possible.
