“I wanted my cousin to have a normal funeral. You know to avoid the spectacle. I put him in a regular casket. When it was time to view the body, my cousin’s body wasn’t there. We were like, what happened? We realized as the pall bearers started walking up the steps (laughs behind to ensue) yall … my cousin’s body fell down to the other half of the casket”. The audience erupted in laughter.

A crowd favorite, Aries Spears, had a captivating performance. Dressed in his normal attire, an oversized black tee and black fitted hat, the New York & New Jersey native came as raw as he normally does.

Spears started his act with a Jay-Z impression and then transitioned to talking about having a daughter and stripping. The guy loves strip clubs!

Chicago Native DeRay Davis headlined the show and brought down the house with his in your face comedy. The comedian/actor known for appearing in movies like Barbershop, Jumping The Broom, Johnson’s Family Vacation, talked about a variety topics to being rich, women, to being killed off Empire.

“People ask me, why was I killed off Empire. I don’t know. If I would’ve known I was going to be killed off, I would have never showed up”, laughter erupts.

The night ended with all of the comedians coming back on stage to stand for a photo opp for press and fans.
