BEFORE THEY WERE KINGS

A CLASSIC COLLECTION OF VINTAGE STAND-UP PERFORMED BY TODAY'S COMIC SUPERSTARS

Before They Were Kings showcases the early work of today's hottest comedians before they became household names. With hilarious performances by Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Arsenio Hall, George Wallace, A. J. Jamal and many others, Before They Were Kings is a rare opportunity to experience the early material of now-legendary comics when they were young and relatively unknown. With vintage footage from the world famous Improv Comedy Club in Hollywood, Before They Were Kings gives viewers a sense of live stand-up circa 1980, done through unique camera shots and positioning, creating a "you are there" feeling which catches the immediacy of the jokes and audience reaction.


With highly polished material and well-timed delivery, these struggling young artists, now considered some of the most innovative in the entertainment business, perform hilarious routines on family, race, women, work, sex and urban life in fast-paced 5-7 minute sets. In addition to Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughey and George Wallace, Before They Were Kings also contains performances by Arsenio Hall, A.J. Jamal, Happy Cole, Charles Cozart, Michael Winslow, Special K. McCray and Kal Clark
