I'm Not A Star, I Hate That

Black Audiences Are Hard. They Always Think They're Better Than You. So You Got To Come With A Little Extra To Satisfy Them.

When I Hit My 20s, I Struggled To Make It. I Got Married At 19, And My Daughter, Je'niece, Was Born A Year Later. I Worked Blue Collar Jobs During The Day And Comedy Clubs At Night, And I Was Earning About $25 A Year Doing Stand-up.

Making People Laugh Is What I've Been Doing Since I Was Like Four Or Five Years Old. I Still Have A Lust, I Still Have A Passion. I Don't Care About How I Look, I'm Dedicated To The Laughs.

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

I Want To Speak Directly To The Audience, To Say, 'i'm Like You - I'm Frustrated, I'm Not An Expert, I Don't Have A Manual On Parenting, I Make Mistakes, I'm Selfish Too.'
