The weekly showcase held in the Belly Room of the Comedy Store has become like church for Black comics who step on stage for a chance to shine.
Few things electrify the bloodstream of a working comic like landing a solid new joke in front of a crowd for the first time. It’s even sweeter for comics and the talent bookers behind the scenes who’ve used laughter to break barriers through comedy. Every Thursday night, Nichelle Murdock routinely ducks behind the sound booth at the back of the Belly Room in the Comedy Store to watch the magic unfold again and again.
Rather than relegating Black comics to bars and hip-hop clubs far away from Hollywood, Murdock’s showcase is the proving ground where showbiz scouts sneak into the audience to watch talent that rarely gets to shine aside from Chocolate Sundaes at the Laugh Factory and Monderays at the Improv. At Crack Em Up, the hosting gig has become a coveted slot that gives comics a chance to own the crowd.
