W. Kamau Bell

Praised by Punchline Magazine as “one of our nation’s most adept racial commentators with a blistering wit,” W. Kamau Bell has been voted SF’s best comedian by three different publications. His album, Face Full of Flour, was named one of the Top 10 Best Comedy Albums of 2010 by iTunes and Punchline Magazine. Kamau is best known for his critically acclaimed solo show The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour, which
was a comedy pick in The Guardian during his recent run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Time Out NY gives him “FOUR STARS” and offers, “Bell finds comic gold...offering provocative insights into an ugly reality.”
