About the Artist:

He has been called one of the most original stand-up comics in the country, and his performances leave audiences laughing in tears. Michael Blackson, aka, ‘The African King of Comedy', has been entertaining audiences all across the country and around the globe for more than a decade. Inspired by the stand up comedy of Eddie Murphy, Blackson began to develop his comedic talent in 1992 in the unkind comedy clubs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Blackson’s comedic appeal grew from his involvement with BET’s ComicView series, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at Harlem, and Live in Hollywood. He got his big break performing at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles when Ice Cube invited him for a reading after seeing his performance. His scene-stealing role in the smash hit comedy Next Friday drew praise and a large fan following.

In 2005 Blackson released his top-selling sketch comedy CD Modasucka, Welcome to America. He has made special guest appearances in music videos, performed on P. Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO, and starred in a commercial for the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. There’s no mistaking Blackson for any other comedian when he takes the stage.

And what about those Dashikis? When he takes the stage, clad in the finest Dashikis the Motherland has to offer, “The African King of Comedy” is born! Along with his film and television endeavors, Blackson continues to headline live shows at comedy clubs, universities and special events, bringing his one-of-a-kind stand-up performance to audiences across the country and around the world.
