Lil Rel Howery & Knowledge Beckom Bringing Whats Funny Comedy Festival To Chicago In September
Whats Funny Comedy Festival, a new event from Lil Rel Howery and Knowledge Beckom, is coming to Chicago in September, Deadline has learned.
Based in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, the space is remembered for offering platform for African American comedians to showcase their talent and nurturing the careers of dozens of up-and-coming comics. The founder of Classic Hip Hop Lives and Jokes Beats x Culture, Beckom stepped into the comedy scene nearly two decades ago, with the aim of offering guidance, platforms, and funding to talented individuals who lacked the resources to advance their careers. Best known on the acting front for roles in films like Get Out and series like The Carmichael Show, he’ll next be seen starring in a live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s book Harold and the Purple Crayon, which Sony is releasing on August 2nd.
