Chicago has the greatest comedic talents hand down #Appreciation

[Ruck]

Bernie Mac, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor (Peoria), Corey Holcomb, Adele Givens, Robin Williams, Godfrey, Deon Cole, Deray Davis, Lil Rel, Hannibal Burress, Tony Baker, Geoff Brown

Please add on if i forgotten someone.


Its just crazy the amount of talent that came from the CHI. As much as the media portray the city as violent. These people brought joy to this world.

Examples:
Probably the greatest short stand up segment in history

I think about this from time to time just off the strength of Bernie Mac and Robin Harris.

What's crazy I was literally about to make a thread on Chicago's top tier rap and R&b talent....Michael Jackson (Gary, IN is a suburb), R Kelly, Kanye, Lupe all are arguable GOATs....Common is Top tier too...
. in their genres.

Robin Harris was born in the Chi, but i believe he was raised in LA.

I mean they all in the midwest. But Chicago is bar none the best when it comes to natural, talented and gifted folk who can make you laugh your guts out.

Every large black population that has access to opportunities turns out alot of stars

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Is there any area with a large black population that HASN'T produced tons of athletes and entertainers?

I disagree. Im talking in terms of a national scale. LA and NY are the entertainment hubs. Cities like Chicago, Atlanta, Houston while big, wont get as much exposure the cities i mentioned before.

Not necessarily but in terms of comedic talent. Chicago stands alone.
