W. Kamau Bell returns to the world of stand-up, bringing his talent for “finding the comic absurdity in darkness” (Time Magazine) to the Jackson Hall stage for an illuminating evening of comedy.

Bell’s CNN docuseries United Shades of America won five Emmy awards, and he was awarded a Peabody for his docuseries We Need to Talk About Cosby. The list of accolades only continues to grow with his second book, Do the Work: An Antiracism Activity Book, making The New York Times bestseller list and his second comedy special, Private School Negro currently available on Netflix.
