Tune in Wednesday for the interview of comedians that will make you laugh. Jordan Black, Nyima Funk, Phil Lamarr, Daniele Gaither & Cedric Yarbrough interview with LaDonna Raeh on Wednesday October 21st

The Black Version is a completely improvised show that started at The Groundlings Theatre in Los Angeles in 2010 to sold out crowds and great reviews. Rolling Stone magazine calls the show "Hot" and the cast a "Comedic A-Team", LA Weekly says the show is "Red Hot" and "Scores more than it's share of belly laughs" while the LA Times calls the show "A Winner"!

The all African American cast of regulars includes show creator Jordan Black along with other comedy veterans Cedric Yarbrough, Gary Anthony Williams, Daniele Gaither, and Phil LaMarr all under the direction of Karen Maruyama. Special guest performers include Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele of Key & Peele (former original cast members) along with special guest performers such as Wayne Brady, Niecey Nash, Nyima Funk, Jerry Minor and Angela V. Shelton among others who come and perform in the show from time to time.

This talented cast has vast film and television credits ranging from Mad TV andSaturday Night Live to the Boondocks and Reno 911 and dozens more.

The show begins when the director asks the audience to suggest a popular film title and then the cast, right there on the spot, improvise the "black version" of that film. They have performed to all sold out houses at the Groundlings Theater since opening in the summer of 2010.
