Guess who won The SF Bay Guardian’s BEST COMEDIAN!!!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Umm… It was ME!

The best part is that it was the READER’S CHOICE! Right between BEST BURLESQUE & BEST MAGICIAN! (Which is kinda what a comedian is. We strip naked and try to make magic happen while people laugh.)

So I that means I owe thanks all to YOU! Or people very much like you…if you, yourself didn’t vote.

I assume that some of you coming to my page are trying to get acquainted with whoever this “W. Kamau Bell” person is, so here’s quick primer…

Margaret Cho said about me…

“W. Kamau Bell is the most important guy doing 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.”

I’m on Facebook, Twitter, & Youtube. Look to the right side of this page —>

Here’s a link to buy my NEW critically acclaimed comedy CD and a clip of my stand-up, followed by a list of upcoming shows!

And here is a list of upcoming shows…

August 13 – The W. Kamau Bell Curve @ UCB in LOS ANGELES
8pm

August 20 – The W. Kamau Bell Curve @ The Comedy Spot in SACRAMENTO
BRING A FRIEND OF A DIFFERENT RACE & GET IN 2for1! (Seriously!)
2 shows 8 & 10pm

August 26 – Laughter Against The Machine @ The New Parish in OAKLAND
2 shows 7:30 & 10pm

August 28 – W. Kamau Bell @ Stage Werx in SAN FRANCISCO
8pm

Hope to see you out there soon!

More Pics Mehserle Rally: Blk Guy Promotes Police Brutality

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

That black guy in the middle is explaining to the supporters of Oscar Grant how police brutality is sometimes a good thing.

Seriously. I was there.

Somebody should tell him that there are better ways to pick up white women.

Even More Pics from The Pro Mehserle Rally

Monday, July 19th, 2010

She was probably up all night figuring this out. But there’s just one problem… AREN’T ACRONYMS SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE???

On a very basic level, I humbly ask you lady, HOW CAN HE FLIPPIN’ BE NON-VIOLENT WHEN HE’S BEEN CONVICTED OF KILLING SOMEONE???

More of my pics from The Pro Mehserle Rally

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Huh?File this one under, “Huh?”

To paraphrase fictional Dr. Frasier Crane, I’d like to ask this guy, “What color is the sky in your world?”

Yup, that’s a black guy carrying that sign!

Monday, July 19th, 2010
Yup! That's a black guy!

Once we free Mehserle, we'll move onto freeing you, black guy.

OK, Black Guy. Let’s make an agreement. We’ll free Johannes Mehserle, if you’ll free your mind from the mental slavery from which you are clearly suffering. Take the overground railroad to Oakland.

Me talking about Barack, Lebron, The BP Oil Spill & Rice Krispies

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

This is footage from one of Laughter Against The Machine’s sold out shows in Seattle. Here I compare Barack Obama’s handling of the oil spill to a commercial for Rice Krispie Treats. Also I tell Barack to be more like George W. Bush.

Just watch it. Comedy sucks when you have to explain it.

“Coming to America” July 10, LOL-SF Comedy Film Fest + A SHOW!

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

This should be cool. I was asked by to pick a comedy to be screened as a part of LOL-SF: A Celebration of Comedy Onscreen and I picked “Coming to America.”… After Glengarry Glen Ross, Goodfellas, Casino, and Tombstone were all truned down as not being actual comedies… no matter how much, “I’m your huckleberry.” makes me laugh.

Anyway, COMING TO AMERICA!!! Get your “Soul Glo” ready. Clean the royal private parts. Prepare your argument for whether you call him “Clay” or “Ali.” And laugh at Aresenio Hall liek you haven’t since the early 90’s.

Waiter, taste this soup.

"Waiter, taste this soup."

I’ll be hosting the screening of it…

COMING TO AMERICA

July 10, 5p

The Vogue Theatre

3920 Sacramento St. (@Cherry)

San Francisco, CA

I’ll introduce it, and then I’ll talk about it afterward. And it’s only TEN BUCKS!

AND THEN that same night at 8p, I’m doing some stand-up comedy at Stage Werx Theatre on 533 Sutter St. (at Powell), San Francisco, CA. I just booked this show yesterday, because I’ve been itching to do a longer set in the city for a while. It’s been a while since SF saw my smiling face onstage. And I’ll be sharing the stage with one of my favorite comedians, Janine Brito. Maybe some other special guests, too! I don’t know, yet. I’m just figuring it out. AND THIS IS ALSO ONLY TEN BUCKS!!!

So there you go, I’ve planned your entire Saturday.

Not that you have to come to both… or either… but I’d love to see you at one… or the other… you get the idea.

Evidence of WKB working to make things happen!

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

TA DAAAAA!

I'm gonna have to fight for my "W."

Kamau gets spotted at a soda fountain!!!

Don’t see anything special? Look closer…

Yup, that is ME, W. (Obviously, I’m gonna have to fight for the W.) Kamau Bell, represented by the same agency that represents Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart, The Smothers Brothers, and Don Rickles. (Amongst others.)

What does this mean? I don’t exactly know yet, but I’ll keep you informed.

It is at the very least some indicator that writing and producing a solo show about race and racism and making those two subjects the focus of your isn’t the dumbest thing you could do despite people sometimes asking you, “Is that all you talk about?”

ANYWAY… back to hustling up work, teaching classes, and refreshing the screen to make sure my name stays on their website..

Thanks for your support!

Dude, you're still using IE6? WTF? Seriously, get with the times. Either upgrade to IE7 (or 8), or switch to something that doesn't suck, like Firefox.
