Known as the "African King of Comedy," Michael Blackson developed his comedic skills by using original humor and being fearless onstage. During his performances, he jokes about current affairs and takes aim at celebs such as Kim Kardashian and Michael Jordan; however, he also focuses on more serious topics such as race, his love for America and his African descent. He performs tonight at 7:30 and 10 at the Improv, where he has shows scheduled through Sunday. Tickets cost $25. (Niesel)
