The Bell Curve Project: Apologies @ Stage WerxJune 20 & 22 446 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

Welcome to The Bell Curve Project! Much like nobody saw his solo show coming, nobody will see this coming (unless you're reading this). And this time instead of just taking on Race, Kamau is taking on everything... one show at a time. "When I initially began doing The Bell Curve, I immediately realized that I enjoyed the idea behind it of taking one subject and attacking it from different angles and trying to find unique approaches to something that we all as a society had spend lots of time thinking about. I knew it didn't always have to be about race. I even did a few shows at Stage Werx where I focused on things like Black History Month and frustration. That is where I really feel like my comedic itch gets scratched."

The major difference with The Bell Curve Project is that this time Kamau is not doing it alone. He has recruited a gang of his favorite comedians, writers, producers, and even a rockstar rapper to help him out. It's like a murders' row of talent from The Bay Area and yes, even from LA and New York. They include Alex Koll (Just For Laughs Festival, Bay Area Air Guitar Champion), Kevin Camia (iTunes Top Ten Comedy CD of 2010), Kevin Kataoka (Lopez Tonight, MadTV), Chuck Sklar (Lopez Tonight & HBO's Chris Rock Show) and regular Kamau cohorts, Janine Brito (laughter Against The Machine), Nato Green (Laughter Against The Machine), and Kevin Avery (Siskel & Negro), and the original director of The W. Kamau Bell Curve, Martha Rynberg. And the rockstar rapper / activist / Bay Area legend himself, founder of The Coup and co-founder of Street Sweeper Social Club, Boots Riley. The Bell Curve Project will be a hybrid of a diatribe, video clips and segments, talk show elements, sketch comedy, and a good old-fashioned Kamau show. Special guests TBA.

So Kamau is going back to Stage Werx, the theater where he performed The Bell Curve for the first time, and this time he and his LA, New York, and Bay Area friends are taking on the subject of... Apologies. Why do we make so many of them? Do they mean anything anymore? What makes a good one? What makes a bad one? What are the most famous ones? Who still owes us one? How can we all get better at them?

"I know nobody is expecting me to take on apologies after four years of taking on racism, but apologies are as embedded and loaded in society as racism is. Literally everyday they are in the news, either because somebody makes one or somebody needs to make one: politicians, actors, actors who are politicians."

“The other reason I’m doing this show is because over the last few years, one thing I have learned is that the entertainment industry is run the exact same way as a high school geometry class. Neither one of them care if you have the answer. They both want you to show your work. So I’m going to do these shows, film them to show my work, and then sell it back to them. The same way I did in high school.”

FNGTAC Episode 14 - An Afro in Asgard- Thor, Tyler the Creator...

This episode features a looong overdue review of the movie Thor. What? You don't care what Vernon and Kamau think about the movie Thor? Well, don't worry your nappy little head, as always, they veer waaaaay off topic (or on topic depending on your perspective) and tackle the subjects that you know them for. Vernon also finally recommends some music, as he exposes Kamau to some Tyler, The Creator. This is our most EXPLICIT episode ever! Thanks, Tyler. - Has Samuel L. Jackson had the Super Soldier Serum? - How come Vernon doesn't want a black Spider-man? - Is Tyler, The Creator and his crew the NEW Wu-Tang or the anti-Wu-Tang? - How is it that in killing Osama Bin Laden that the US finds a way to be racist to Native Americans? - Kamau's big (soon to be bigger) news!

Wyatt Cenac says I'm funny. At least that's what I'm assuming.

@MissJaiSays over at The Twitter sent me a message letting me know that a writer named Jozen Cummings said...

And then I told tweeted to Mr. Cummings*, "Thank you." And then I powered up the Googler and found the interview. Here's an excerpt...

"Well, there's also the alternative [comedy] world, and I very quickly got put into that world. There aren't a lot of minorities who get put in that world. Me, Craig Robinson, W. Kamau Bell -- there are comedians who got placed on that track..."

Pretty cool, huh? Especially since I've never met Mr. Cenac.* And while he didn't say I was funny per se, he is including me with himself and Craig "Can I have some booty?" Robinson. And since he doesn't seem to have Twitter or a personal Facebook page or an email address on his Spartan website, I'll just have to throw my thanks out into the Internet. If he Googles himself as much as I do myself, he'll get this in about 32 seconds.

Mr. Cenac just released a Comedy Central hour long special entitled Comedy Person. Check out some here.

KKK Blog - Pandora Launches Comedy Stations. I Find Out Who I'm Like

Pandora is doing comedy now!!! With Pandora doing comedy, we have almost created a Utopia on earth. We've got iPad 2s, electric cars being made by American car companies, and Cee-lo is on TV every week. No wonder the world is coming to an end on May 21. Humanity has got nothing left to do.

Full disclosure: I briefly worked at Pandora on this project, and I can't legally tell you exactly what I did there, but it was somewhere between the areas of "Hey, guys! Pandora should do comedy!" and "Ooooh, shiny!"

But I can tell you that I had very little to do with the space magic that makes this awesome. Comedy on Pandora works just like music on Pandora. You type in the name of your favorite comic or comedy track name, and Pandora creates a station based on the qualities it says define that comedian or track.

Since I have two CDs out (ONE NIGht ONLY and Face Full of Flour), as an experiment, I am going to enter, HORROR OF HORRORS, my own name. I'm going to listen to five tracks, and we're going to see what happens when I find out who I am like and why I am like them. Can you even create your own Pandora station based on your own name? Will that create a rip in the space-time continuum? Well, I'm doing it anyway. My only rule is no thumbing up or down. I just gotta take what I get.

Okay, apparently W. Kamau Bell is similar comedically to Mr. Paul Mooney, Godfrey, Aries Spears, Eddie Griffin, and Alonzo Bodden. One out of five ain't bad. Oh, wait. Yes it is. Nothing against the dudes on that list, I guess I was just hoping to find I was similar to Mr. Paul Mooney, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, young Malcolm X, and the unreleased Bill Cosby CD that he recorded a couple of years ago when he went on that tour chastising single moms.

1. Artist -- W. Kamau Bell, Track Name -- "Where's Chicago? & Californ-YO!"

This is a track from my first CD which was really just a bootleg that I recorded and released as a CD. These two jokes were a STAPLE of my act. It's a bit like looking at baby pictures of myself, except the pictures talk and for some reason I thought the word "titties" was funny.

When I ask Pandora why it played this track, it says, "Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features hostile comedy, subject explorations, a sarcastic delivery, location/situation jokes, and satirical observations." Yeah, that's me. Except recently I've taken out the "location/situation" parts of my jokes so I can focus more on the "hostile comedy" parts.

Latest KKK Blog - Hannibal Buress Is All Anyone in This Town Can Talk About...

OK, look assholes! I have a hot tip for you. This is hotter than a tip on Apple Computer stock in 1990. Hotter than an iPad 2.* Hotter than fresh-out-of-the-oven chicken potpie filling. HOT! Hannibal Buress is headlining for the first time THIS WEEKEND at the Punch Line here in San Francisco!

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Kamal, you recommend comics every week. I get it. He's a friend of yours and you think he's funny. Enough with the hard sell."

Okay. First of all, my name is Kamau, not Kamal.

And second of all, this is not the usual KKK endorsement, THIS is a warning of things to come. A warning of the inevitability of how stupid you will feel in a year or two** when Hannibal is one of the biggest comics in the country and you missed your chance because you didn't heed this warning to get in on the ground floor of the next big thing.***

Hannibal has already been feted by Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, and Variety. He's working on getting his late night talk show card fully punched, and is one of the few comics who each year who manage to crack the inscrutable code of appearing on David Letterman. He has written for SNL and 30 Rock. His 2010 debut comedy CD, My Name Is Hannibal, was lavished with praise, making multiple 10 ten lists, including ones by iTunes and Punchline Magazine.**** He's appeared on the podcasts WTF with Marc Maron and The Field Negro Guide to Arts and Culture with guitarist Vernon Reid from the band Living Colour.

FNGTAC Podcast 12 - His Name is Hannibal!

Vernon is away this week and he's sure gonna be mad he missed this one. Kamau is in Portland, OR and sits down with scorching hot comedian, Hannibal Buress. Hannibal has been feted in all the hip-making mags like Rolling Stone, Esquire, Variety, and Entertainment Weekly. And he has been called, "The funniest young comic I've seen in years." by none other than Chris Rock. Kamau and Hannibal have some comedian shoptalk, talk about Hannibal's brief writing career on Saturday Night Live and his hopefully soon to be longer writing career on 30 Rock. And in the grand tradition ofg FNGTAC they of course have a meta discussion about Hannibal's self-esteem and whether or not he's being type cast. Hannibal also breaks a brand new genre or YouTube vdeos. Watch out MMA!

Enjoy it! Even though we don't know if you deserve it!

See Hannibal The Punch Line in San Francisco May 4-7.

SF Weekly: Brent Weinbach Writes Waaay Better Jokes than Charlie Sheen Doesn't

Nobody knows exactly what was going through Charlie Sheen's mind Saturday night after he bombed horribly and ugly-ly in Detroit. Nobody knows exactly how that felt to him ... except for every stand-up comic on the planet.

We stand-ups have all been through that experience of bombing horribly and then having to wait impatiently for the next show. You can't get the taste of bombing out of your mouth until you kill again, but a little bit you may feel like you'll never kill again. And maybe you've never killed before.Yup, stand-up comics have been through that more times than we care to remember.* You get booked for a show. You get excited for that show. You feel strong and good. And then you step out onstage and everything goes tits up.** The next day you walk around in a daze. Not really taking anything in. Many thousands of dollars have been wasted on movies "watched" by comics the day after bombing. The lights flicker and the sounds play but nothing goes into your brain. All you can think is, "How did that happen?" and "What could I have done differently?" And my personal favorite, "Whose idea was this???" The "this" being whatever is pissing you off most at the time, but for me the "this" is usually the idea of getting into show business in the first place.

Those hours between the shows unquestionably prove that Einstein was correct in his theory that time is relative. That time between shows is slower than the time it takes to wait for your Mac to stop going all spinning beach ball on you. It is slower than that person in front of you at the BART*** station who is seemingly trying to use the ticket machine to buy a pack of gum. It is slower than the time that you were starved and saw that the bar had a happy hour special on mozzarella sticks during the middle of the Final Four AND EVERYBODY ELSE SEEMED TO BE GETTING THEIR MOZZARELLA STICKS BEFORE YOU. EVEN THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAME IN WAAAAAAAY AFTER YOU.

That time between shows is a beast! It is probably still a beast even if you are Charlie Sheen and have the salve of goddesses and a private plane filled with sycophants.****

But I don't actually blame Charlie Sheen for bombing. He is not a live performer. READ THE REST HERE...

SFWeekly.com: Why Comics Love Recording in San Francisco

Comics love to record their CDs and DVDs in San Francisco. They LOOOOOOOVE it! Even if they don't live here. Even if they didn't come up doing comedy here. Even if they don't spend that much time in the bay. They still love to record those permanent records known as "specials" here. And they even used to love to record them here when those permanent records were actually records.

Here is a quick list off the top of my Googler of notable CDs, DVDs, and albums that were recorded in San Francisco:

1. Paul Mooney's Race - 1993 (The San Francisco Punch Line)2. Steve Martin's Comedy Is Not Pretty - 1979, and Let's Get Small - 1977 (both at The Boarding House in San Francisco)

3. Margaret Cho's I'm The One That I Want (The Warfield -- this reset the bar for the modern special.)

4. Lenny Bruce's Live At The Curran Theater - 1961 (Apparently the actual show was --- GULP! --- THREE HOURS AND SEVEN MINUTES LONG!)

5. Mort Sahl at The Hungry i - 1960 (Yup, before it was a seedy strip club it was home to the best comedy the country has ever seen.)

6. Zach Galifinakis' Live at The Purple Onion - 2007 (You can hear our very own Alex Koll* introduce Zach at the beginning of the DVD.)

7. Sandra Bernhard's I'm Still Here... Damn It! - 1998 (Slim's)

8. Bill Burr's Let It Go - 2010 (The Fillmore)

9. Phyllis Diller's Live in San Francisco - 2001**

10. Kevin Avery's Hardcore 2007 (The San Francisco Punch Line)

11. Daniel Tosh's Happy Thoughts - 2011 (Yerba Buena Center)

12. Eddie Izzard's Dress To Kill - 1998 (Stage Door Theatre, I was in the flippin' audience the night it was recorded for HBO. I didn't get it. I do now.) FOR THE REST OF THIS POST GO HERE!

FNGTAC Podcast Episode 11ish - Producer Alex Goes Wild!

Producer Alex gets out the whupping stick and runs ramrod all over this episode. He pieces together old clips, never before heard clips and sprinkles through his own third take on things previously discussed on FNGTAC. That's right! This week Alex got the "black conch", and he proceeds to beat the boys up --- Well, mostly Vernon. --- with it. This is like an episode of your favorite late seventies/early eighties sitcom where the "power is out" and the cast spends the 30 minutes "remembering" old clips, and then they try to pass that off as a new episode! Yup. You'll get such classic (and new) moments like...* Kamau suggesting Michelle Rodriguez for Wonder Woman while Alex is horrified. * Vernon critiquing Beyonce while Alex is horrified. * Alex playing some Justin Beiber which horrified Kamau upon hearing it later. * Vernon offering up his services to produce the next Fishbone CD. (We hope they take him up on it.)

* Kamau offering up his services to produce the next Living Colour CD. (Kamau hopes they take him up on it.)

Enjoy it! YUM!

Black Guys on a Beautiful Day pt. 2: No Going Back!

After people seemed to enjoy the first Black Guys on a Beautiful Day, we were regularly asked about the second one. Well, eleven short years later (not really) here it is...

Written and produced by Kevin Avery, Directed by Alex Koll, starring myself, Reggie Steele, Greg Edwards and the aforementioned Kevin and Alex.

My 5... 6... 7 Rules of How to Be A Stand-Up Comedy Audience

Yes, there are rules. There have always been rules. The problem is most of you don't know them and for the most part the clubs won't tell them to you, because they don't want to alienate you from taking full advantage of that two drink minimum. But believe me when I say that all the comics and the fine people who work at the comedy clubs know the rules, so I figured it was time to pass them officially on to YOU! Ain't I nice?

1. Get to the club at least 15 minutes before showtime. I know the ticket and the website say the show is at 8pm. And you have a hectic life of Facebooking and Twittering and Digging and Tumblring and hey, you may even be one of those humans lucky enough to have a job, but as Malcolm X said, "On time is already late."* You know how you are, you need to sit down and unwind for a second. You wanna adjust your coat on your seat just right. You need to pee. You wanna look at the menu and ask questions, like "Oooh! Punch Line Punch? That sounds interesting! What's in that?... Is the pasta made in house?... NACHOS?" Also, the human brain can't handle rushing into a comedy club, sitting down, and immediately laughing. And you know you hate being sat in the front of the comedy club. And you know who hates it more? Everybody else in the audience, which is why those are the only seats available. And you know who hates it more than that? The opening comic onstage right now who is just happy to get through all the announcements, wants to get to their jokes, and now has to negotiate whether or not the rest of the audience can hear you arguing with the door guy about if there are any other seats available. FOR MORE RULES GO TO SF WEEKLY!

My London Debut on 5 April. YIKES! I need your help.

So my UK debut is fast approaching and I'm still kind of confused why my first set EVER in the UK will be an hour long stand-up set in London, but here we go. I could really use the help of YOU, my United States peoples, who have peoples in London who might be interested in some Kamau and my Kamauhour! (Say it put loud. It's fun.)

The details are below and you can download this flier if you wanna ship it to your peoples across the pond. Here is a Facebook invite too if you go that way.

Also, there's a clip below of my stand-up so they can check me out. Thanks.

I've even included a sample letter to help get you started.

SAMPLE LETTER:

Hey Friend (or other synonym here... maybe even their name),

I think you should go see my friend W. Kamau Bell when he comes to London and plays Hen & Chickens Theatre on Tuesday, 5 April. Kamau is hilarious (or other synonym here). He's been named San Francisco's best comedian three times. America's Punchline Magazine declared, “One of our country’s most adept racial commentators with a blistering wit and a willingness to say what you quickly realize you’ve always thought." And Robin Williams called him "ferociously funny." This is his first time in the UK, so treat him well. He's a delicate flower. See a clip of him here.

You can also follow him on Twitter and here is the Facebook invite.

Thanks.

(Insert your name here.)

FNGTAC Pod 9.5 - Twitter me this. #CharlieSheen #BladeRunner #GeorgeLucas, #RodneyKing...

This episode is a classic FNGTAC podcast. It is pretty much the template for why the podcast exists in the first place. It's a freewheeling, off-roading, much encompassing conversation the type of which Kamau and Vernon reguarly had before the podcast began. Today begins with a few Twitter hashtags but doesn't limit itself to something as small as what is on the Internet. And this is probably (Kamau says hopefully.) the one and only FNGTAC mention of one Carlos Estevez AKA Charlie Sheen. Also...

* Vernon is tense about a possible Blade Runner remake. * They both go into detail about George Lucas and the prequels. Guess what they think. * They go into geek nirvana by deconstructing the Matrix movies. Guess which 1 of the 3 they liked the most. * They wonder if 20 years after the Rodney King beating we are gettig along any better. * Vernon busts out his adult language. Singularity anyone? * Vernon, once again, has an idea about resurrecting a classic movie franchise. Today, it's Alien.

Yup, a typical episode of sci-fi, police brutality, more sci-fi, and finally #TigerBlood.

FNGTAC Ep. 9 - A Super Episode! (literally) From Batman to Tyroc!

This episode features Vernon & Kamau geeking out on all things superhero. Superhero movies (past and future). Superhero costumes (good and bad). Sueprhero TV shows (only one good one). Kamau explains why there will never bee another good Superman movie, and then Vernon pitches how he would make a good one. (Take notes, Christopher Nolan.) They also discuss whether or not there has ever been a credible black superhero. And then they discuss whether or not there has ever been a credible African-American superhero. (They get deep even with the ridiculous.) Producer Alex adds his musical and sound wizardy to the mix. Yup, these three use their big brains to dissect one of America's greatest contributions to the world: SUPERHEROS!

Also, they briefly cover all the problems in North Africa, which Kamau attempts to make even briefer by trying to make one the most awkward segues of all-time!

Guess what the coolest thing is about this news story.

Watch below. Then tell me what the coolest thing is about it.

Is is that it is somehow cheesy and tear jerking at the exact same time? No.

Is it that he gets down on town knees instead of one knee? No. Although I am partial to that, because that's how I proposed to my wife. But with me it wasn't a choice. I just forgot it was only supposed to be one knee.

Give up? IT'S THAT IT ISN'T ABOUT INTERRACIAL LOVE!!! Can you believe it? It's just about unique marriage proposals, cancer, and something called "keratin". And it's from Cleveland. Not truly liberal cities like Los Angeles or New York or San Francisco* or Portland.** Cleveland may vote democratic, but it ain't exactly progressive. And Ohio is a swing state. I'm SUUUUUURE there are people in the Cleveland area who saw this story, spit out their tea (party) and were like, "HEEEELL NO!"

Now THIS is some Post-Racial America!

*There may not be enough black people with jobs in San Francisco to make this story possible. ** There certainly aren't enough in Portland.

FNGTAC Podcast #8 - The Obamanomenon: The State of "The State of The Union"

On this episode Vernon & me finally have our long awaited Obama conversation. It happened minutes after Obama's second State of The Union Address and there was much to discuss: Obama & technology, Obama and Michelle, Obama and his new theme music, Obama and Black people, Obama and crazy white people, Obama Now vs. Obama Then. Yup, it's Obama on and on until the break of dawn. (Say that last sentence out loud. It sounds really cool.) And on this episode, Vernon & me also  have some special guests in the form of several other of America's "first Black presidents."
