DeRay Davis: How to Act Black (2017)
It took me a bit to warm up to DeRay's comedy style, but he is funnier and even "blacker" than Dave Chappelle, and simply kinetic -- once he gets going, he does not stop! Every vocal inflection, gesture, back gesture, step, dub step, and punch line is interwoven and intuitively dead-on. Yes, vulgar words zing and ricochet -- but every second of his standup feels true, with not one missed beat. Here is a comic to watch! Enjoy! 4 stars. (11-23-2017)
