During a recent performance at KevOnStage Keep Your Distance comedy event, comedian Blaq Ron gave fans a brief insight into one of the biggest R&B songs ever made, and the facts are quite disturbing.
Blaq Ron has written for some of the industry’s leading and long-lasting comedians (Earthquake, Rickey Smiley, Kym Whitley, DC Young Fly, et al.), as well as the hottest TV/Radio shows (MTV’s WildNOut, QuakesHouse). Regaled as a dynamic “Comic’s comic”, he has toured and performed on cruises, podcasts, college campuses, and in comedy clubs and theatres Coast to Coast! Cultured, Controversial, and unapologetically Conscious; his unique style of clever adage spinning, off the cuff quips, and raw social-political commentary definitely leaves audiences with a breath of fresh comedic air. And his ability to seamlessly blend the highs and lows of human existence together with the levity of poignant, albeit bittersweet laughter in harmonious, jazz-like symphony leaves everyone wanting more!
Kevin Fredericks launched his own streaming app, KevOnStage Studios, featuring shows starring him and other All Def alumni. The service has already built up a nice collection of original, for-us-by-us programming. Real Comedians Challenge Show is the flagship program, with Fredericks and comedians Tony Baker, Angel Laketa Moore and Tahir Moore (no relation) engaging in various challenges — painting, songwriting, applying makeup on somebody, etc. — talking trash to each other until one of them is victorious at the end.
There are also other shows, such as Black People Don’t Do Improv, a bare-bones improv game show; Explain This, where Fredericks and Tahir Moore sharpen their roasting skills by doing deep dives on comedians’ old photos; and Black Card Off Layaway, with African American comic Keysha E. engaging in foreign-to-her, Black activities like playing spades and making potato salad.
Fredericks also has a heavy, social-media following, with his 1.3 million followers on Instagram usually ready for all the viral-video commentaries and other funny clips he drops on the page. With the fan base he has online, it explains why several of the cities on his tour, which also features Tahir Moore and Angel Laketa Moore, have already sold out. (The Friday and Saturday shows he’ll be doing at the Improv this weekend are full.
