Michael Colyar hits Kimball's June 28, 2009

HBO's Def Comedy Jam host, actor/writer Michael Colyar will hit the stage running. Though he straddled standup comedy and acting with equal emphasis, Michael initially made his most dramatic strides behind the microphone. In that venue, Colyar broke from the mold set by many African-American comedians by delving into routines neither vulgar, nor profane, nor directed exclusively to a black audience. As performed during weekends on the Boardwalk of Venice Beach, CA (an event that occurred for over a decade, five times a day, every Saturday and Sunday -- which prompted many to tag Colyar "The King of Venice Beach"), Colyar's schtick transcended demographical barriers by appealing to those of all ages, ethnicities, and personal backgrounds.
