Phat Tuesdays: The Era of Hip Hop Comedy
Hood to Hollywood
S1 E1:
The first episode of Phat Tuesdays tells the story of how Black comedians were shut out of “white” comedy clubs in the 90s, and how they found venues in South LA where Martin Lawrence, D.L. Hughley and Robin Harris showcased their talents. After the LA riots, comedian Guy Torry launched Phat Tuesdays, an all-black comedy night at the world-famous Comedy Store.
