Comments & Reviews
"W Kamau Bell is the most important guy ding comedy right now. Do yourself a favor and go see him. He's got the most astute, hilarious and completely righteous material going and he's going to be a legend in his own lifetime like Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce. Think Bill Hicks but slightly taller."
— Margaret Cho
"Happily, Bell finds comic gold in the wide range of material he mines, offering provocative insights into an ugly reality. FOUR STARS!*
— TimeOut New York
"Bell’s solo show is daring, insightful, challenging, sometimes interactive, up-to-the-minute—and did I mention hilarious?”
— NYTheatre.com
"The personable, quick comic skewers racism, stereotypes and an assortment of iconic taboos with provocative wit. FOUR STARS!”
— San Francisco Chronicle
"Bell’s reflections on the recent election and Proposition 8, among other race-inflected personal and political matters still closer to home, are topical, to say the least, and run considerably deeper than the usual one-liners or simplistic oppositions of much race-based comedy. RECOMMENDED!”
— San Francisco Bay Guardian
