Barry Brewer Bio:

If there’s one thing Barry can do, it’s entertain.

And while most are able to master one or two crafts, Barry has proven his innate ability to shine as a multifaceted entertainer who masters all that falls under his umbrella of talent. Very few have proven themselves to be as multi dimensional, Barry’s favorite actor, Jamie Foxx, being one of the few.

Barry has been working non-stop, as he’s established himself as a force in television. You can currently see him on Tyler Perry’s Bruh and BET’s Games People Play. Barry is also known for his role on Kevin Hart’s Guide to Black History, on Netflix.

Brewer began his career when he received a standing ovation at an impromptu performance; at a packed out Chicago church event; that ultimately changed his life. Consequently, Barry shifted his focus to comedy, perfected his craft and began performing in comedy clubs throughout Chicago; eventually relocating to Los Angeles. His early success came from televised comedy competitions such as Bill Bellamy’s Who’s Got Jokes, on TV One; alongside his peers, Tiffany Haddish and Lil Rel Howery on BET’s Coming to the Stage.

Having been inspired by the comedy legends, Barry filmed his debut stand-up comedy special, Chicago I’m Home for a sold out crowd at the Studebaker Theatre, downtown Chicago. Written, produced and directed by Brewer, Chicago I’m Home is a one-hour stand-up comedy special that invites viewers to view life through Barry’s lens; as he recalls how his childhood and adult life merge with modern American society. Chicago I’m Home was released in 2019 and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime, iTunes, Vimeo and a host of other platforms.

In the summer of 2019, Brewer produced and hosted a sold out, nationwide comedy tour with his counterparts, Big Jah and Minks; derived from the original viral series, When the Whole Crew Is Stupid. The videos’ success (receiving more than 25 Million views from the entire series) inspired Brewer to produce a national tour. Visiting nearly 20 cities, the tour showcased the group’s comedic talent and converted the internet fan base to an actual physical audience.

In addition to his film and television career, Barry is a talented singer, songwriter and music producer. He currently has two studio albums, Dive In and Conquer Goliath that he wrote, composed and produced. His talents have placed him in the presence of artists such as Brandy and Tank. Barry is also a gifted musician. He can often be found most Sundays playing the piano or organ at his church.

Edwonda White Bio:

Edwonda White is a talented performer who sings, acts and is also an accomplished writer. Her refreshing style is like a breath of fresh air because she really seems to love what she is doing whenever she is on stage.

Edwonda has been featured on HBO's Def Comedy Jam, BET's Comic View, Comedy Central, Showtime, Apollo Comedy Hour, Loco Comedy Slam and on the Bad Girls of Comedy. She has done colleges, stadiums, churches, nightclubs and theaters all over the country, in Europe and has even entertained our American troops overseas.

Edwonda has also been the feature and opening act for Bernie Mac, George Wallace, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer as well as Chris Tucker.

You might know this comedian from…

Originally from Tehran, Iran Sherwin came to America at a young age. Raised in an Iranian household while attending American schools created Sherwin's comedic foundation. "Our neighborhood was mostly white, with the exception of one black family next door to us, I was so happy to see that Iranians were not the only ones who put plastic covers on their furniture."

But life was not always easy for Sherwin as a minority. "I remember my first baseball game; my dad showed up to cheer me on but the only problem was he didn't speak English. When he saw the other parents yelling in English he decided to yell in Farsi. Everyone was terrified - Little League was never quite the same."From that moment Sherwin frequently would re-enact what his father did for others to enjoy. After a while Sherwin went on to start impersonating his uncles, aunts and cousins. Nobody was safe. "It got to the point where people just didn't want to talk when I was around for fear that I would impersonate them later on, and I never wanted to let anyone down." Sherwin was slowly beginning to find his true calling in life. Comedy. "I remember getting a hold of Eddie Murphy's Delirious. It was a drug and I was dangerously addicted. I watched it over and over and over again, to the point where I memorized the entire thing."

Sherwin's parents however were very serious about education with Sherwin. After completing high school Sherwin went on to college where he obtained a Bachelors in Information Systems, followed by a Masters, and an MBA. Upon graduation, Sherwin began working in corporate America. "Sitting in a cube all day felt so restrictive, it just wasn't me. My friends kept urging me to try comedy since that was all I seemed to talk about. Finally in 2009 I gave it a shot. I did 5 minutes of material and it was everything I had ever dreamed of. I knew that this is what I was going to do with my life. Make people laugh."

Sherwin has since been performing at various comedy clubs in NY and California.

Sherwin's all-time favorite standup bit is Eddie Murphy's cookout scene from Delirious.

Even Lionel Bio:

Raised on the South Side of Chicago in a single-parent family, Evan Lionel transcended his circumstances, leveraged his comedic genius and graduated from Columbia’s esteemed Theater Program. Rapidly establishing himself as a formidable stage actor, Lionel soon received a Joseph Jefferson award for “Best Ensemble” in the play PILL HILL. His incredible work ethic allowed him to maintain a grueling regime of theater six nights a week, followed by late-night comedy performances.

Lionel’s groundbreaking routine can be seen on Martin Lawrence’s hit show “First Amendment” on STARZ. He also makes a special guest appearance on Bill Bellamy’s popular show on TV One “Who’s Got Jokes”. His hard-hitting, self-produced, debut comedy DVD, “Too Real For Y’all”, is the result of touring, headlining and hosting comedy venues across the nation.

When it comes to charming audiences, this gifted entertainer has racked up a host of television and movie credits, and a series of both national and international comedy tours. With an exciting routine that is as inspiring as it is entertaining, Lionel’s comedic brilliance has been showcased on CBS’ Entertainment Tonight, BET’s ComicView, HBO Def Comedy Jam, as well as some of the most esteemed clubs in the country. These include The Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, The Improv and the Uptown Comedy Club. Other TV credits include the WB Network series NIGHTMAN as “Artemus Burton”, Fox’s hit television series LIVING SINGLE as “Duke Ellington”, USA Network’s PACIFIC BLUE as “EZ Bryson” and PM Entertainment’s LA HEAT as “Romeo”. Lionel also appeared with Oprah Winfrey on ABC’s made-for-TV movie THERE ARE NO CHILDREN HERE as “Silver” and NBC’s made-for-TV movie IN THE SHADOW OF A KILLER as “Mickey Tom Brody”.

Lionel’s film credits include character roles in the Damon Wayans’ mega hit MO’MONEY as “Detective Mills”, MAD DOG AND GLORY with Robert DeNiro and Bill Murray, FOLKS with Tom Selleck and the late Don Ameche and the controversial film LOSING ISAIAH starring Halle Berry.

The scope of his talent surpasses film and television, as is evidenced by his exceptional comedic diversity. Lionel’s range spans multiple genres, from Gospel-inspired “Clean” comedy to the unrestrained satire intrinsic to the nation’s top urban nightclubs. This accomplished headliner is also one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after hosts, running an unprecedented five shows a week.

A semi-finalist in the 2003 Bay Area Comedy Competition, Lionel’s electrifying stage presence and his unique brand of social commentary also rendered him a finalist in the Conscious Comedy Competition, sponsored by Los Angeles’ popular radio station 100.3 “The Beat”. Evan Lionel is also a winner of the Miller Genuine Draft Comedy Search. A force to be reckoned with, he has held his own in featured performances with industry veterans like Chris Tucker, Bernie Mac, Cedric The Entertainer, Tommy Davidson, J. Anthony Brown,Paul Mooney, Adele Givens, Michael Colyar, Myra J and Jedda Jones.

Lionel’s popularity transcends national borders. He recently returned from an incredibly successful tour of London, England, headlining the acclaimed Bloomsbury Theater and leaving his UK fans clamoring for more. That, together with his phenomenally successful tour of Japan and Korea adds to the growing international fan base already established by his sold-out concerts in Guam and Saipan. Working around the globe and around the clock, Lionel has been heard daily on the syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show soap opera, “It’s Your World” and Los Angeles’ hip radio station KPWR “Power 106” show “Big Boy in the Morning.”

Clearly in a class of his own, Lionel’s versatility is truly remarkable. In addition to his film/television credits, his live comedy concerts and his theater successes, he is a USKA (United States Karate Association) Midwestern Regional Grand Champion and has boxed in the Golden Gloves Championship in Chicago.

“My objective is to help people live better lives through my comedy,” says Lionel, “and, really, just to make the world a happier place.” If you have ever experienced his concerts, you will agree that every time he walks on-stage, he does exactly that.
