Comedy Has Been So Good To Me.

I Became The Storyteller Of South Side Chicago. I Used An Old Kiwi Liquid Shoe Polish As A Microphone. I'd Go Around The House Interviewing Everybody, Telling Stupid Jokes, Doing Voices. I Mimicked Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr., People On 'laugh-in,' Flip Wilson.

I Was A Street Performer For Two Years.

As I Got Older, I Got Into All Kinds Of Things In The Streets - But For Some Reason, I Never Got Caught Up With The Gangs Growing Up. Everybody Dug Me, Man. I Never Had Problems.

I Think A Lot Of Tv Insults The Audience.

The Success Of My Comedy Has Been Not Being Afraid To Touch On Subject Matters Or Issues That Everyone Else Is Politically Scared Of.
