The Tank says…

Formulaic 'hood classics and Def Comedy Jam reruns wither and die in the face of this weekend's lineup of local standup talent. Founded by two of the festival's performers — Elon James White and Baron Vaughn — the Black Comedy Experiment hosts three days of boundary-pushing, side-splitting shows. Preppy "oreo kid" Jordan Carlos plays the token black friend, vigilante pundit Baratunde Thurston addresses absurdity in American politics, and Leighann Lord searches for guilt-gifts from trifling men. Don't miss special guest and 30 Rock writer Donald Glover for the grand finale.
