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.

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.
