Michael Colyar is the multi-talented actor, comedian, and author. Michael is no stranger to work as he is still packing out shows in major cities night after night. His wit, charm and unique sense of style has been captivating audiences since the 80’s. Michael consistently performed every weekend, 5 shows a day on Venice Beach and was rightfully dubbed the “King of Venice Beach” while performing 9 years straight. His fans can’t get enough of him, “he’s real” “down to earth” “a giver”, they say. Michael’s philanthropic legacy extends beyond his $100K win from Star Search of which he gave 50% to the homeless. Today Michael still finds the time to share laughter with those in need in shelters, rehabilitation centers, schools, and military bases. Michael Colyar is best known for his starring roles in Blackish, House Party III, Norbit, The Princess & The Frog, and his role as Mr. Whitaker on the hit television series “Martin”. He is currently performing his one man play called “Michael COLYAR’S Momma’s” and will be launching a 100 plus city tour that has caught the attention of major television, cable, and streaming networks.
Donnell Rawlings is a force both on and off the stage as a comedian, actor and podcaster and this year, Donnell is fire -- debuting his first stand-up special at the end of February for Netflix produced by his long-time friend Dave Chappelle. Donnell first caught the attention of the industry while his fan base exploded with his hilarious sketches as Ashy Larry on Chappelle's Show, but it was his critically acclaimed role as Damien "Day-Day" Price on HBO’s The Wire that turned heads and legitimized him as a serious actor and catapulted him in the theatrical world. Most recently, his role as Alvin in the hit STARZ TV series BMF and his unexpected return to the second season as well as his role as the snarky Mr. Earl in Adam McKay's acclaimed HBO series Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty grew his followers. Besides his stand-out role on Chappelle's Show, Donnell was lauded for his role as Dez in Pixar’s blockbuster film Soul. In turn, Donnell was honored with The Redd Foxx Award by The African-American Humor Awards in 2021. Donnell was born in Washington D.C. and grew up in Alexandria, VA and served in the United States Air Force where he was stationed in South Korea and at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Donnell’s most significant part of his life is being a father to his 8-year-old son, Austen.
