You may remember Michael Blackson, the self-proclaimed “African King of Comedy,” from the movie Next Friday, in which he played the angry man in the CD shop who went on a scene-stealing rampage that found him yelling, “I can’t get jiggy with shit!” Hailing from Africa, Blackson will often wear a dashiki on stage. Spewing jokes about immigration and homeland security, he likes to play the role of the angry African man, and his routine often involves telling everyone to “modasucka.” He’s also not afraid to make fun of superstars like Kobe Bryant and Jay-Z. At times, can get a little graphic about sex or what kind of women he likes, but doesn’t go too far. He performs tonight at tomorrow night at 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. Tickets are $22. (Aziza Doleh)
