Arena Entertainment Presents:
D.L. Hughley Popular stand-up comedian and actor
Arena Entertainment will present comedian D.L. Hughley on Sunday, October 28 at 7:30pm in the Mainstage Theatre, located
at the Center for the Arts on the University at Buffalo’s, North Campus.
One of the most popular and highly
recognized standup comedians on the road today has also made quite an impression in the feature film and television arena.
D.L. recently starred in NBC-TV's “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” He also recently starred in a one-hour comedy
special for HBO entitled “Maybe Its Just Me.”
D.L. Hughley spent four successful years starring in his
own sitcom “The Hughleys.” In 2005-2006, D.L. hosted his own late night talk show for Comedy Central “Weekends
at the DL.” The talk show fulfilled one of D.L.’s dreams to host his own late night talk show. Also currently
airing on Comedy Central is D.L.’s one-hour comedy special “Shocked and Appalled.” On the CD side, D.L.’s
long-awaited comedy CD Notes From the GED Section is currently available.
It was the mega-hit ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY
that launched D.L. into superstardom. The film, based on the 1999 tour featuring D.L., Bernie Mac, Steve Harvey and Cedric
the Entertainer, garnered close to $40 million at the box office and became one of the highest selling DVDs in 2001. In 1999
comedians D.L., Bernie, Steve and Cedric embarked on this national tour, which sold out most of the major concert arenas in
over 50 cities across the country. Spike Lee, eager to expose the tour to a larger audience, made a docu-film of the tour,
and it was released nationwide to rave reviews.
D.L. has undoubtedly proved himself as one of the hardest working
men in showbiz. In addition to his growing film resume, D.L. continues his reign on the standup comedy front, filling out
concert arenas and headlining comedy clubs across the country. His One-Hour HBO Special “D.L Hughley Going Home,”
earned D.L. a nomination for an NAACP Image Award.
With his innate ability to make people laugh, D.L. Hughley began
his career as a comedian working in small clubs, citing his appearance on HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam” as one
of his earliest breaks in the business. As a result of his work on HBO and his quick rise in popularity among the audiences
he constantly kept in stitches, D.L. was chosen as the first host of “ComicView” on BET.
