ABOUT THIS SHOW
The self-proclaimed "Oprah of comedy,” Colette Gregory deconstructs sexuality, religion and everything from Black Conservatives to Love is Blind contestants. The result is an unforgettable evening of belly laughs, knowing head nods and songs you’ll be singing in the shower. Awarded “Favorite Sketch or Variety Performance by a Group or Individual” at the 2024 Pack Hollywood Festival, Black Best Friend will leave you thinking about what it is to be a “Token Black Face” in a predominantly white space.
