Description

Just like the Boston Celtics and skinny jeans, racism is making a comeback in America. Every time you turn around, a white celebrity is talking about un-white people in ways that haven't been popular since Martin Luther King had a dream. Well, W. Kamau Bell is mad as hell and he's not going smile politely anymore as his un-black friends go, "Was what Imus said really THAT big a deal?" "The W. Kamau Bell Curve" is one part diatribe, one part manifesto, and several parts funny.

Bay Area guitar phenom Paul E. Hunt and his funk-rock-soul band Conjure opens each show and will feature different guest musicians each night.

As a stand-up comic, W. Kamau Bell has opened frequently for Dave Chappelle in San Francisco and around the country. His TV appearances include: Comedy Central and Comics Unleashed. Locally, Kamau has been profiled in The San Francisco Chronicle on three different occasions, including not ironically during Black History Month.
