Blast From The Past- Comedian Dave Chappelle On HBO's Def Poetry Jam!


Here is a blast from the past, one of our favorite comedians in the game today, Dave Chappelle as he appeared on HBO's Def Poetry Jam several years ago. If you happened to miss it, you will love it!

NBA All Star Comedy Weekend Wrap Up

The NBA All Star Weekend competition did not prove to be as full of excitement as in years past, especially the Slam Dunk competition. However, the excitement and hype for the one of the most anticipated shows of the weekend fell on the shoulders of The Katt Williams Experience which never took place.

Due to the enormous amounts of complaints that we have received from the fans in Dallas, we would have to say that comedian Katt Williams’ no show for The Katt Williams experience STILL has folks talking.

But not to be lost in all of the drama of Katt Williams, Codeblack Entertainment still produced a duo comedy show that kicked off the weekend despite the turbulent start with the inclement weather. The Shaq’s Comedy All Stars shows both were sold out, as they featured comedians Mo’Nique, Mike Epps, DeRay Davis, Kevin Hart, Bruce Bruce, George Wilborn, Paul Mooney, Corey Holcomb, Michael Blackson, Red Grant just to name a few.

There was another comedy show at the Majestic Theater that featured Bill Bellamy, Chris Spencer, Aries, Spears, Jay Lamont, and Derek Ellis. Once again, due to those same weather conditions Jay Lamont and Aries SPears didnt make it. There were two scheduled shows, and because of the no-shows, the comics who did show up gave the audience extra time on stage.

Stay tuned for a full detailed report of the weekend, including exclusive pictures, behind-the scenes videos and more!

For over two decades the Competition has been at the vanguard of the Black/urban comedy movement, greatly contributing to the career development of many of its stars and the construction of many of its brick and mortar and 'clicks and mortar' venues.
