Break a Leg

Ciao, Amigos.

So, a little more about our guest star for the Halloween minisode.

Kamau is a prominent comedian here in the Bay Area (and around the country, too), whenever Dave Chappelle's in town, he'll get Kamau (and Kamau's friend, Kevin Avery) to open for him. Kamau and Kevin also have their own radio show where they review movies and interview celebrities [when are we going to be on your radio show, Kamau?!]

Kamau is also doing a show here in SF at the Shelton theater. I pasted the description of the show and his bio below:

The W. Kamau Bell Curve
The show designed to end racism in about an hour.

Bring a friend of a different race and your friend
gets in for free!

JUST LIKE MOTLEY CRUE and skinny jeans, racism is making a comeback in America. Every time you turn around, a white celebrity is talking about un-white people in ways that haven't been popular since Martin Luther King had a dream. Well, W. Kamau Bell is mad as hell and he's not going smile politely anymore as his un-black friends go, "Was what Imus said really THAT big a deal?" "The W. Kamau Bell Curve" is one part diatribe, one part manifesto, and several parts funny. And it wouldn't exist without Sarah Silverman's "Jesus is Magic", Michael Richards' "N Word Blowout", Don Imus' "Nappy Headed Hos", Rosie O'Donnell's "Ching ching chong ching...", and the next dumbass, uninformed celebrity who says something incredibly and unapologetically racist.

BAY AREA GUITAR PHENOM PAUL E. HUNT and his funk-rock-soul band Conjure opens each show and will feature different guest musicians each night.

AS A STAND-UP COMIC, W. KAMAU BELL has frequently opened for Dave Chappelle in San Francisco and around the country. He has appeared on TV on Comedy Central and Comics Unleashed. Locally, Kamau has been profiled in The San Francisco Chronicle on three different occasions, including not ironically during Black History Month. The SF Weekly called him, "certainly
funny", although he was more excited that they called him "handsome". He is most proud of being the leader of The Solo Performance Workshop at The Shelton Theater, where he is also an Artist in Residence.
