Brown was born in New Haven, Connecticut where his show business interest began with magic. He later became interested in the art of ventriloquism and thus combined it with standup comedy. He was inspired by legendary ventriloquist Willie Tyler and Lester from the Motown Revue along with Jay Johnson who played the team of Chuck and Bob on the hit tv sitcom “Soap”.  Brown entered college at Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. After graduating he relocated to the Washington, D.C. area where he really honed his skills by working at local comedy clubs like The Comedy Connection of Greenbelt, Garvin's, The Comedy Café, and The Improv. He would work along side of Dave Chappelle, Wanda Sykes, and Chris Thomas to name a few. Willie hosted a local tv show called “The Comedy Jam” which was a follow up to “The Soul of Comedy” Willie Brown and Woody now perform largely at churches, theaters, colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events. Brown and his sidekick have headlined many comedy clubs throughout the country and abroad. They've performed numerous times overseas at U.S. military bases in Korea, Japan, Germany, and Bosnia. They have also performed in England, Amsterdam, South Africa, and the Caribbean. Brown has toured with Cedric The Entertainer, and worked with Steve Harvey, Jamie Foxx, and Mike Epps. He's opened for a number of well known music artists including Boys To Men, Frankie Beverly & Maze, Chaka Khan, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Al Green, The Whispers and more.

As a mainstay at New York's prestigious Comedy Cellar for many years, Keith Robinson has long been the definition of a comedian's comedian. But it wasn't until he suffered two debilitating strokes over the course of four years that he finally landed his first hour-long special on Netflix. In this episode, Robinson talks about how managed to get back on stage so quickly after his first stroke (against medical advice) and how he was able to find so many cathartic laughs in what has otherwise been a truly terrifying experience. He also discusses how he felt about the standing ovation that opens his special ‘Different Strokes'—especially with so many comedian friends in the room—and looks back at the chaotic early days of his career, including stories about working with Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer, Chris Rock and more.Follow Keith Robinson on Twitter @1keithrobinson and Instagram @keithrobinson438Follow Matt Wilstein on Threads @mattwilsteinFollow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod and Threads @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

It's been more than three decades since Wanda Sykes first stepped onto the stand-up stage. And sometimes, it feels like she's just now getting her due. This past year, the legendary comedian received her first-ever Grammy nomination for her latest Netflix special ‘I'm an Entertainer,' which also landed nods at the Emmys and Golden Globes. The hard-hitting hour takes on many of the most divisive topics of the year without pandering to either side or ever punching down. “It's just noise. And I like to try to cut through that,” she says of the way her comedy reacts to the broader political conversation. In this episode, Sykes takes on everything from the problem with Dave Chappelle's anti-trans jokes to why she was shocked Will Smith didn't get dragged out of the Oscars for slapping her friend Chris Rock to what Joe Biden has to do to win back Black men in 2024 to how she thinks about her place in the comedy pantheon and a lot more.

Welcome to Classic Skeptic Metaphysicians! We're re-releasing some of our back catalog so that these gems can be re-discovered!This week: Shibari Healing and Sacred SexualityShibari Healing is the ancient meditative art of rope tying. But how does it work? And how can you use it in conjunction with sacred sexuality in order to open pathways of love in your life? What is the Shibari Healing journey like?Amber J Lawson, shares her very personal experience with this sacred sexual modality and answers all of these and many more questions."If you fight the ropes, they will bite you. If you surrender, they will hold you." -- Amber J LawsonThere's no question that any open discussion about sexuality can become extremely charged in the United States. While other countries don't see sex as something to be ashamed of, there are many in this country who feel shielding our children from sexually charged environments is more important that violent ones. If you subscribe to this thinking, this episode may not be for you.Our guest connected with a Shaman who introduced her to the world of Shibari Healing and Sacred Sexuality....and her whole world was turned upside down. This is a story of deep human connection, of unleashing the power of the divine feminine with the help of a true sexual healer....all in the service of love.But be warned.....you may not be prepared to hear the full story of just what happened......the night (and subsequent months) that the shaman came to town.About our Guest:Amber J Lawson is a force to be reckoned within the transformational coaching mindset space. She has decades of experience in Hollywood as a producer, development executive and digital content creator and has worked with A-listers over the years like Madonna, Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Sandler and Wanda Sykes. She's been honored as Entrepreneur of the Year by Top 50 Women in Digital, PGA Top 25 in Digital, the NATPE Luminary Award and most recently as the # 1 Innovator in Comedy in 2020.When the Coronavirus Pandemic hit, she rallied with her female founding partners to create and launch Comedy Gives Back Laugh Aid, raising over $500,000 for the comedy community.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes Tuesday morning saw the announcement of the 96th Academy Award nominees, presented by Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid. Oppenheimer leads the race with 13 nominations, closely followed by Poor Things with 11 nominations. Killers of the Flower Moon received 10 nominations and Martin Scorsese, at 81, became the oldest directing nominee in Oscar history. Barbenheimer's other half, Barbie earned eight nominations, including best picture, but director Greta Gerwig was notably excluded from the director category. Alongside Barbie, Anatomy of a Fall and Past Lives were also best picture nominations from female directors, setting another Oscar record. American Fiction, The Holdovers, Maestro, and The Zone of Interest round out the rest of the best picture noms.' We're slapping a big ol' RUMOR disclaimer on this one, but Ryan Gosling has reportedly met with Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige to discuss potential roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with one of the rumored characters being Nova. While it's still uncertain if official talks are underway, Gosling recently departed from his long-attached Wolfman project with Universal and Blumhouse, raising speculation about a possible Marvel connection.  The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Universal is developing a new installment in the "Jurassic World" franchise. David Koepp, known for adapting the original 1993 "Jurassic Park" and its 1997 sequel, is set to return to the franchise to write the screenplay, with Steven Spielberg executive producing. The film reportedly aims to introduce a fresh storyline, potentially launching a new era for the franchise.  Lucasfilm has unveiled an action-packed trailer for the upcoming third and final season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, set to premiere on Feb. 21 with a three-episode debut and concluding on May 1. The trailer teased the Batch's challenging quest to reunite with Omega, navigating threats from the Empire and seeking unexpected allies. The voice cast includes Dee Bradley Baker, Jimmi Simpson and Wanda Sykes, and titles for all 15 episodes were revealed, which are already fueling fan speculation and anticipation.  The first gameplay trailer for "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" debuted during the Xbox Developer Direct 2024 event on January 18. Wolfenstein series developer MachineGames is set to release the highly anticipated Xbox Series X game in 2024, which features an original story set between the movies "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Last Crusade." The gameplay showcased immersive action, intriguing puzzles, and iconic Nazi-punching, all from an unexpected first-person perspective. Developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games and under the executive production of Todd Howard, of Fallout and Elder Scrolls fame, the game will be exclusive to Xbox Series X and PC.
