Cedric the Entertainer at the Ryman 

King of Comedy

King of Comedy
Andre the Giant. Jack the Ripper. Dennis the Menace. Each has left a unique mark in his respective field, whether it be wrestling, serial killing or neighborhood mischief-making. Mr. The Entertainer has similarly ridden his own mid-moniker demonstrative adjective to the top of the eponymous entertainment field. Not only has one-fourth of the Original Kings of Comedy made the rounds on Showtime at the Apollo, Def Comedy Jam and ComicView, frequently appeared on screens both small and silver and authored the book Grown-A$$ Man, but he recently threw one of his omnipresent, custom-designed fedoras into the directorial ring as well. Busy as he is with all that--not to mention maintaining a charitable foundation in Missouri--he never fails to remain honest, animated and in-your-face onstage. And that's The Truth.
