🎤 Comedy In Harlem Presents: Alex Thomas Live! 🎤
Actor/Comedian Alex Thomas was born in Los Angeles California. He grew up with a musical background. His mother a classical pianist and his father Alexander Sr. was a member of one of the greatest band in R&B history Earth Wind and Fire. Because of Alex’s height and size sports did not work out in his favor. So growing up in the ‘hood the only other alternative was telling jokes. He was the Class Clown from Kindergarten until he graduated the 12th grade.
Right after high school he landed his first job in the entertainment business on the hit comedy show In Living Color. I guess you can say Alex went from high school straight to the pros. Believe it or not he wasn’t hired as a comedian or an actor; but as a dance choreographer for the infamous Fly Girls. It was on the set of In Living Color where he met Keenan Ivory Wayans and Damon Wayans that he was persuaded by the family to pursue a career as a stand up comedian and the rest is history. Two years later Will Smith found Alex Thomas performing at the world famous Laugh Factory Comedy Club in Hollywood California. Smith hired Alex immediately as a writer on his hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where he wrote for the show for three seasons. As a stand-up comedian Alex has starred in two 1- hour comedy specials “Straight Clownin’” (SHOWTIME) and “Alex Thomas Live” (BET). Alex has opened up for such stars as: Sinbad Jamie Foxx Mark Curry Damon Wayans and Bill Cosby. Stand-up comedy has lead Alex to many television and film roles. Alex played a sidekick role to Jamie Foxx on the hit sitcom The Jamie Foxx Show for three seasons. He has also guest starred on other hit sitcoms such as: Martin (Fox) Girlfriends (UPN) The Wayans Brothers (WB) Moesha (UPN) The Parkers (UPN) and All of US (UPN). Alex has also done several re-occurring character roles on hit animated series such as: Batman Beyond King of the Hill and Family Guy. Alex has also appeared on several talk shows including: The Best Damn Sports Show Period (FOX) Jay Leno (NBC) and Premium Blend (Comedy Central). In addition he has appeared in hit films such as: The Players Club Two Can Play That Game Just Married BAPS and The Wash to name a few. Alex is also well known in the hip-hop world from performing in several hit music videos and also several skits on Platinum-selling albums by artists such as: Kanye West P.Diddy Snoop Dogg 50 cent and Bow Wow.
Complementing his entertainment background Alex is also an avid 13-handicap golfer. He has played on some of the greatest courses in the world from Pebble Beach to St. Andrews. Golf has opened many doors for Alex as he has hosted and played in several celebrity golf tournaments including: Hall of Famers like: Magic Johnson Eric Dickerson and Tony Dorsett. Also he has played in other celebrity tournaments with George Lopez Samuel L. Jackson Will Smith Nick Van Exel Antoine Walker and Alonzo Mourning.
Shatara Curry
Jersey native Shatara Curry has officially unwrapped her gift of laughter, which comes as no surprise to many. Now, she is doing what every middle child from a big family does best, she is “sharing”. It was love it first mic, when gracing the stage for the first time at New York’s Boston Comedy Club. She jokes that it was after receiving her bachelors degree, she ran to the closest stage to put her newfound knowledge to the test. Since then Shatara has performed at some of New York Cities top comedy clubs like Caroline’s, Broadway Comedy Club, Comix, The Laugh Factory and Gotham. Doing comedy for over 10 years has also placed her in front of audiences across the country and even overseas.
Shatara or “Shaterrible” as she likes to call herself, freely uses her gift to gabb, speaking her mind with an intelligent razor sharp tongue and an unapologetic sassy confidence. Shatara is so animated, even does a glory song and dance about having no kids and not having crumbs in the backseat of her car. Her outgoing high energy, social insight and stage antics are hilarious. One can’t help, but to love and appreciate her unfiltered honesty. Saying out loud what many of us wouldn’t dare.By day her work with the child psych/behavioral health population brings out yet another one of Shatara’s multi faceted capabilities. “I absolutely love, love, love working with kids..probably cause I don’t have any of my own. HA!” Although this is another heart tugging job, she feels it has been super rewarding and a blessing for the past 11 years. Just like comedy you have to have really tough skin. Like an adult audience, kids require a lot of you, and their honesty is genuine. There is nothing like an adorable, toothless 8 year old pulling you to the side to let you know with dyer emergency “lady, you have a mustache”. Then there is always that teenager literally having a nervousness break down on the floor, not because they broke their legs, but because their cell phone was taken away. So you best believe, after 5 0’Clock, with a nerve twitching right eye, Shatara is not only looking forward to happy hour, but ready to unleash “Shaterrible”. Letting her hair down,bringing the uncut, unscripted, on edge “off the clock” comedy.
Today Shatara still resides in NJ, doing stand up comedy and continues to add feathers to her snazzy cap. Selling out at the world famous APOLLO THEATRE COMEDY CLUB, appearing on MSNBC, Chris Rock: Good Hair documentary segment, MSNBC; THE GRIO, THE DOCTOR OZ SHOW, ASPIRE TV’S, WE GOT NEXT, and recently taped for TRU TV’S, LAFF TRACKS.
