Half the Kings of Comedy are working with three veteran comics for a Philips Arena show October 24 called "The Black and Brown Comedy Get Down."
D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer blew up in the late 1990s with the Kings of Comedy tour with Steve Harvey and the late Bernie Mac. Hughley and Cedric reunite for this tour with Eddie Griffin, Charlie Murphy and George Lopez. Collectively, the five comics have more than a century's worth of stand-up experience.
Tickets go on sale August 7. They range from $59.10 and $80.90 after fees on Ticketmaster.
Cedric, who broke in with "The Steve Harvey Show," now stars in TV Land's "Soul Man." Lopez is best known for his ABC sitcom "The George Lopez Show" (2002-2007) and TBS talk show "Lopez Tonight" (2009-2011). Griffin's resume includes "Malcolm and Eddie" (UPN, 1996-2000) "Undercover Brother" (2002) and "John Q" (2002). Murphy was a writer and cast member of "Chappelle's Show" (2003-05). Hughley's sitcom aired for two seasons on ABC and two more on UPN from 1998 to 2002 and is currently doing a syndicated radio talk show.
