Choosing Urban or Mainstream for Black Comedians with Monroe Martin III

It's a Special, Special edition of The Erik Terrell Show as MTV and Last Comic Standing's own Monroe Martin III joins the crew on the first of June, Erik's Fifth Stand-Up Comedy Anniversary to have a rare and always poignant conversation about Black Stand-Up.

Monroe Martin's been in the game for over ten years. He's been on Last Comic Standing, the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, MTV's Guy Code, MTV's Joking Off, and many more "Mainstream" programs. He does, however, come from an "urban" background, like most black Philadelphia Comedians do.

"Urban Comedy" is big business. "Mainstream Comedy is bigger business. How do Black Comedians choose one? Must they choose? We answer those questions and many more!

Happy Anniversary ET
