I love the fact that I am seeing more and more black comedians that are out and proud. We're not at the point where I would call it commonplace just yet, but there are a notable few that are opening the doors for funny LGBTQ folks to enter the world of stand-up. One of those people pushing down barriers and eliminating obstacles is Sampson McCormick.
Sampson's style of humor resonates with me because he is speaking my experience. He is a black gay man that identifies as black first. Until you've walked in these shoes you probably won't get it. But Sampson is a voice of our community. He is telling our truth. And the shit is funny! But it's also smart. According to Sampson, "We live in a time when people are laughing at politicians and getting upset with comedians." TRUTH!!!
