Dr. Jamal Bryant sits down with viral comedian, author, and faith-driven creator KevOnStage (Kevin Fredericks) for a candid, comedic, and compelling episode on faith, fame, and failing forward.
They unpack why Kevin believes his life is his witness, how bad contracts almost derailed his career, and why churches need to stop waiting for “perfect” before posting online.
Kev opens up about losing momentum with Playmakers, his biggest regrets in business, and how grief and fatherhood shaped the man behind the laughs.
This episode is for every church kid, content creator, pastor or dreamer trying to build something real in a world full of filters.
KevOnStage: 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.
