Welcome to the first episode of The Underground Lounge, hosted by Lou Williams and Spank Horton.
Lou and Spank chop up on all things comedy and community, covering everything from the cutthroat comedy scene to hot takes on hoops culture.
Lou Williams: Louis Tyrone Williams is a former professional basketball player. He was drafted directly out of high school by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 45th overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft. He is a 3-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
Spank Horton: Will “Spank” Horton is an explosive performer unlike any other whose ability to engage an audience is nationally known. This hilariously cool comedian takes charge while he holds the audience’s attention with his lightening wit spontaneous snaps and improvisation. His stand-up comedy performance is at its peak and he is heralded by critics as one of the most talented new comedians to come out of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. He has toured with BET’s Comic View and has appeared at various comedy clubs around the country such as the Laff House (Philadelphia) House of Comedy (Virginia) Jakes On US (Washington D.C.) and Boston Comedy (New York) to name just a few.
On the debut episode, the duo shares their vision for the Underground Lounge—a show aiming to bring together diverse guests for engaging conversation.
