Tommy Davidson’s exceptional range – from stand-up comedy and acting to versatile music accomplishments – has earned him a reputation as an extraordinary performer. Best known as one of the stars of the hit television show In Living Color, his visibility has allowed him to become a household name known for his innovative talent. Davidson started his career as a stand-up comedian in Washington, DC, earning an ardent following. Spotted by major concert promoters, he was first booked as the opening act for Patti LaBelle, Kenny G, and Luther Vandross. It wasn’t long before he came to Hollywood and was headlining the biggest rooms and met Robert Townsend. This led to his first national TV appearance and starring role in Partners in Crime, the conduit to Keenan Ivory Wayans, who proved instrumental in Davidson’s career by offering him an opportunity to audition. Tommy and Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and David Alan Grier -- the uniquely talented cast of the most adventurous primetime variety show on television, In Living Color (1990), made TV history. The iconic sketch show was recently honored with the 'Groundbreaking Award" by TV Land in a star-studded salute guided by Whoopi Goldberg, and this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Eric Blake has worked with some of the best producers and directors in the business and showcased his one-hour special "Doing Time: 25 to Life with My Wife." He's been on HBO, NBC, Comedy Central, and was on Showtime's "Chocolate Sundaes," where his skit is currently going viral at 50 million views. In addition, he is a part of Big Boy's Neighborhood on 92.3 iheartradio. The most significant challenge for the modern comedian is their ability to relate to a variety of audiences.  Eric Blake has taken this challenge to heart, expanding his material beyond the African-American lens and identifying with many other cultures and experiences.  He is one of the few performers who can truly be labeled as a “universal comedian,” defying comedic normality.  Blake’s raw talent is also distinguished by his ability to custom-fit his comedy for the particular moment.  This witty improvisation can be revealed at the drop of a hat, bringing new characters to life that flow directly from the unconscious, capturing the imagination of his audiences.

Andre's first show was on the Apollo Comedy Hour on national television in 1994, where he gained house hold exposure and has since moved on to be on hit television shows and films, such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The District, Planet of the Apes, Comedy Central and B.E.T.'s Comic View along with a handful of other credits. Mr. Paradise not only has hit TV shows to his credit, such as season one of NBC's Last Comic Standing, BET Comic View, and Jennifer Lopez's Standup-and-Deliver. Currently, André is working behind the scenes writing his first full-length motion picture, Mormon Football, and is in production with a few game shows.
