Phat Tuesday I Amazon Prime

Informative docu-series on the come up of black comedians. It doesn’t go all the way back, but it’s good to hear these stories.

As usual amazon prime drops something with no promo and it gets no traction. If Netflix did this it would be getting buzz online

1. Hood to Hollywood: The first episode of Phat Tuesdays tells the story of how Black comedians were shut out of “white” comedy clubs in the 90s, and how they found venues in South LA where Martin Lawrence, D.L. Hughley and Robin Harris showcased their talents. After the LA riots, comedian Guy Torry launched Phat Tuesdays, an all-black comedy night at the world-famous Comedy Store.

2. This is How We Do It: Phat Tuesdays becomes the hottest club in Los Angeles, attracting superstars like Prince, Magic Johnson, and Eddie Murphy while giving many comedians like Nick Cannon, Chris Tucker, Bill Bellamy, and host Guy Torry their big breaks in film and television. But the success increases the tension between Guy Torry and his older brother Joe...

3. Who Got Next?: Phat Tuesdays becomes a beacon for female comics who recount the sexism they faced. Then, legends like Steve Harvey break down the science behind what it takes to be funny. Meanwhile a new generation of comedy stars launches on social media, and stars of Phat Tuesdays return for a special tribute, including J.B. Smoove, Cedric the Entertainer, Luenell and many others

Me too. I love these comedy documentaries. I especially love seeing some of my favs from the 90’s. Had no idea robin harris was 36 when he died. I thought he was in his 50’s. Especially since he played kids dad.
