Spelling is HARD! but to be honest, watching someone’s attempt at spelling can be very hilarious to watch.
St. Louis, MO comedian Tahir Moore constantly struggles with making words come out of his mouth correctly. Helping others share his misery with vocabulary, weekly, Tahir challenges friends and fellow comedians to a good old fashion spelling bee titled SPELLING IS HARD. Each week, two brave contestants will endure 5 difficult spelling challenges as the score will be kept by game official Maye, who will also be judging very harshly.
This week on commentary, Tahir is joined by comedian/actor Kev On Stage who will bring his unique spelling and popular brand of comedy to this foolishness.

This Week’s Special Guest:
Kev On Stage: 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.
