The Emmy-nominated
comic is known for delivering incisive, scathingly funny commentary on modern society.
Bell travels the country, offering viewers a look inside the various
subcultures of American life. He first captured audiences’ attention with his
thought-provoking, one-man show, “The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in
About an Hour,” and later, with his widely praised FX comedy series, “Totally
Biased with W. Kamau Bell.”
The multitalented
entertainer also hosts the podcasts, “Denzel Washington is The Greatest Actor
of All Time Period” and “Politically Reactive,” as well as the live public radio
show, “Kamau Right Now!” Kamau’s book, “The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell,”
will be released May 2. His one-man show “Ending Racism in About an Hour” has
been praised by audiences and critics from leading outlets, including The
Guardian and Time Out New York.
