Description
Just Stand Up: A Tribute to Black Comedians is a look back at the funny black men & women who started it all and their struggles before stardom and fame.
A real history lesson that needs to be taught!
After the days of Blackface and Yo-Mama, African Americans made way behind the scenes of clubs, venues, and halls in Detroit, Chicago, New York and many of other urban cities nationwide; making each other laugh and sometimes doing so by coercion and unfavorable work conditions.
What you'll uncover in this set of biographies which you won't find elsewhere:
- The early history of Blackface and the role of comedy prior to Black comedy
- The impact of the original queen of comedy "Jackie 'Moms' Mabley"
- The role of juggling films, TV & other forms of acting from Nipsey Russell, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and others
- Robert Townsend and how he paved the path for modern day black comedy
- The highlights of struggles to make money in a field that was often used to degrade their own
