SUMMARY:DeRay Davis
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised on the south side of Chicago\, comedian-turne
 d-actor DeRay Davis can most recently be "scene" starring opposite Taraj
 i P. Henson’s “Cookie Lyons” as her go-to hitman/cousin “Jermel” in seas
 ons 1 and 2 of the Lee Daniels and Danny Strong\, creative collaboration
 \, Empire on the FOX network. After his wildly successful 1 hour Showtim
 e Comedy Special\, DeRay Davis: Power Play that aired to rave reviews\, 
 Davis continues to ascend on what can only be described as the Samuel E.
  Jackson Formula\; a path and pattern of consistent\, feature film and n
 etwork television roles! After his first\, single card credit\, as “Spoo
 ner” in John Carpenter’s remake of The Fog (2005)\, it has been eleven y
 ears (and counting) of back to back\, prominently featured/starring role
 s in both film (32+) and television (50+) staring opposite Hollywood hea
 vy hitters. License to Wed opposite John Krasinski\, Semi-Pro opposite W
 ill Ferrell\, Imagine That opposite Eddie Murphy\, Life As We Know It op
 posite Katherine Heigl\, Old Dogs opposite Robin Williams & John Travolt
 a\, 21 Jump Street (2012) opposite Channing Tatum & Johnny Depp\, G.I. J
 oe: Retaliation opposite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson - just to name a few.
  Between takes\, on the afore mentioned nationally released feature film
 s\, Davis continued to star and sometimes contribute as producer/writer 
 in a steady stream of network television movies\, mini-series\, variety 
 shows and sitcoms. One of DeRay’s first credited writer/ Voice Over role
 s was on Kanye West earlier Albums (and you thought that was Bernie Mac\
 , didn’t you?) Davis contributed 5+ Voice Over Character roles on Multi 
 Seasons of The Boondocks\, Adult Swim’s Black Dynamite and continued sha
 rpening his comedic craft by starring on almost every season of Nick Can
 non’s Wild n Out from its conception to current airing on MTV as well as
  Hip-Hop Squares\, Short Circuitz and Hosting the game show Mind of a Ma
 n on GSN. This led to his currently starring as Host on MTV2’s Joking Of
 f currently in its second season (release date TBA)! Davis transformed h
 is torridly rough upbringing\, status as a working actor and fatherhood 
 into a live show that stays fresh and ever changing according to whateve
 r is happening in his daily life while he continues to develop and hone 
 his streetwise mentality smoothly and efficiently onto the comedy-club c
 ircuit. He achieved his career breakthrough at the Laffapalooza Festival
  in Atlanta\, GA\, and then scored a 3-peat by winning the Comedy Centra
 l Laugh Riots Competition and landing covetable spots in the Montreal Ju
 st for Laughs Festival as well as the Budweiser Def Comedy Jam Competiti
 on. From the Hood to Hollywood – nothing is off limits and no one is saf
 e from DeRay’s hilarious\, sidesplitting anecdotes. He continues to sell
  out venues both domestically and internationally. His highly anticipate
 d 1st ever Netflix special “DeRay Davis: How to Act Black” smashed the c
 ultural landscape on November 14\, 2017 and was so popular it shut down 
 the Netflix server TWICE! Davis is continuing to ascend. He can currentl
 y be seen on the FX hit\, Snowfall.\n\nTickets: https://www.ticketweb.co
