W. Kamau Bell : Director W. Kamau Bell‘s television appearances include Comics Unleashed and Comedy Central. In 2005 he was chosen to perform at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, and he was the only comedian invited to perform on both The New Faces Show and The Best of The Uptown Comics Show. As a writer he was featured in the book “What Would Bill Hicks Say?” Kamau can be heard on radio station Live 105 and online at Roof Top Comedy as half of the rant and rave team, “Siskel and Negro”. Kamau has been profiled in The San Francisco Chronicle on three different occasions, including not ironically during Black History Month. The SF Weekly called him, “smart, stylish, and very much in the mold of politically outspoken comedians like Dave Chappelle and Margaret Cho”, although he was more excited that they called him “handsome”.
