    David Allen Grier trained in Shakespeare at Yale University, where he received an MFA from the Yale School of Drama🧠. In a world filled with ppl claiming to be one of the greats, David truly is! The difference between him and a lot of the other comics is he doesn't have to boast and brag! He doesn't walk around calling himself a goat of comedy because he knows he is💡. His comedic range flows easily from slap-stick, to spoken word, to stand-up and bounces right back to silver screen acting! With that being said, we salute you Mr. Grier, truly a goat of comedy!!

      Listen to him tell jokes all i can see is brand new sketches popping up in my head. TV needs this type of genius comedy writing. That bit about him passing the drink to Charlamagne and asking him who he wants to slap, that's the type of writing that we need to bring back NOW.

And we could not be prouder that he comes from, was raised up within our Community!! So, whatup doe, baby boy! Keep being you!! You are loved!!!🥰❤️😘
