About Sommore This trendsetting, highly-acclaimed veteran entertainer is widely considered one of America's top comedic female entertainers. With a winning combination of class and sass, Sommore offers audiences a hilarious, yet piercing look at today's issues from a woman's perspective. She is frank and fearless in her routines, tackling topics that range from the mundane to the controversial with wit, intelligence and style. Praised by critics, respected by her peers, and adored by a diverse fan base, she performs her stand-up act to sold-out audiences across the country, and she is among the top-grossing stand-up comediennes. Oprah proclaimed her a “force to be reckoned with in the new millennium.” The New Jersey-native has had a meteoric rise to the top of her field and has been a trailblazer for women in the comedy business. She is the recipient of the Richard Pryor Award for Comic of the Year and became the first woman to host BET's Comic View. She would also go on to host Russell Simmons' Def -Comedy Jam, as well as Showtime at the Apollo. As part of the record-breaking "Queens of Comedy" tour in 2000, she garnered a wider fan base and was registered in Guinness' Book of World Records when she performed to a captivated audience of nearly 50,000 people in Atlanta, Georgia. The 2001 made-for-television movie based on that tour was the highest-rated and longest running special in the history of the Showtime Network. In addition to her stand-up performances, Sommore has also appeared in several films including Friday After Next with Ice Cube, Family Reunion, Soul Plane, Something New and Dirty Laundry and has appeared as a featured guest on television shows including The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, ABC’s The View, Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and CNN Headline News, and was profiled on Comedy Central's "Special Women in Comedy" program. Sommore also participated in season six of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club and was cast as the cornerstone for the "mob" with Bob Saget for the NBC primetime show 1 vs 100, appeared as the special guest star on MTV's Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out, and hosted Live at Gotham for Comedy Central. Most recently she released her much anticipated DVD, The Queen Stands Alone, which originally aired to ground breaking numbers on Comedy Central. Written and produced by Sommore and One Thousand Kisses, Inc., The Queen Stands Alone is a film version of her stand-up act. About D.L. Hughley D. L. Hughley is one of the most popular and highly recognized standup comedians on the road today. He is undoubtedly also one of the most influential voices in the world of comedy and has quickly risen to the ranks of comedic royalty, alongside Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor, just to name a few. His raw, unadulterated, unapologetic, frank, in your face approach to comedy, which cleverly infuses current events and everyday run of the mill happenings has also made him a staple and mainstay in the hearts and minds of millions of people across the globe. Most recently, Hughley hosted his own news commentary show on the national news network, CNN entitled, D. L. Hughley Breaks The News. The show was Hughley’s comedic take on the week’s events in the news with everything from politics to entertainment, sports and pop culture, as well as one-on-one interviews with a wide range of newsmakers and the reporters who cover them. Hughley also recently appeared in a one-hour stand-up special for HBO titled "Unapologetic" and hosted BET’s hidden camera show S.O.B., as well as the 2008 season of HBO’s Def Comedy Jam. Hughley also starred in the Aaron Sorkin drama series for NBC, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Hughley also spent four successful years starring in his own sitcom, The Hughleys, and in 2005-2006, he hosted his own late night talk show for Comedy Central, Weekends at the DL. In addition to his success in TV, it seems that film audiences seem to respond and respond well to Hughley on the big screen as well. Hughley wowed audiences in 2001 in The Brothers, opposite Bill Bellamy and Shemar Moore, co-starred in Cloud Nine opposite Burt Reynolds and in recent years was the voice for the Gadgetmobile in the live-action film Inspector Gadget that starred Matthew Broderick, inspired by the 1980s cartoon series of the same name. He will next be seen in the film Doubting Thomas. But, it was the mega-hit Original Kings of Comedy that launched Hughley into superstardom. The film, based on the 1999 tour by the same name featuring Hughley, Bernie Mac, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, garnered close to $40 million at the box office and became one of the highest selling DVDs in 2001. About J. Anthony Brown For those in the know, “WatchOutDehNow” is more than a heed to action, it’s the trademark catcall for funnyman J. Anthony Brown. As a staple on the nationally syndicated radio morning show, “The Tom Joyner Morning Show” for almost a decade now, the South Carolina native is one of the foremost voices that wake up millions of radio listeners in over 195 markets day to day. An industry staple, Brown’s impressive list of credits have included performances on Comic View, Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at the Apollo and Evening at the Improv, writing credits on The Arsenio Hall Show, The Tom Joyner TV Show, Steve Harvey’s Big Time, Me and The Boys and The Parent ‘Hood. His movie and TV credits have included XXX: State of the Union with Ice Cube, Mr. 3000 with the late great comedian Bernie Mac, Drumline opposite Nick Cannon & How to Be a Player, alongside Bill Bellamy and hit TV shows like Eve, The Parkers, Livin’ Single, Martin, Moesha, The Hughleys, and even Oprah. Whether he is murdering the hits with his off key version of the latest song, or donning a pink pimp suit to evoke a laugh, Brown will get to your funny bone. His penchant for alligator shoes and rainbow colored suits convey his “party time” approach for fun. About Don “D.C.” Curry After the being named "Comedian Of The Year" by BET and eventually hosting Comic View, film and TV roles started flooding in for Curry. His list of credits would grow to include a regular role on ABC's, Grace Under Fire, performances on HBO's critically acclaimed The Chris Rock Show, the hit sitcom, Roseanne and The Steve Harvey Show. He would also gain critical acclaim and chatter as “Pastor Jones” on the NBC sitcom, The Tracey Morgan Show, as the outrageous “Uncle Elroy” in Next Friday, and the hilarious holiday three-quel Friday After Next. He would go on to film, Don "D.C." Curry-Nervous Breakdown Live!, his own DVD/cable TV special and CD that he also co-produced and also star in his own cable special, Comedy Central presents D.C. CURRY which continues to air on the network to rave reviews. For additional information on the The Royal Comedy Tour and the featured comedians log onto www.royalcomedytour.com.
