Host/MC BT Kingsley BOUNCE TV, KEVIN HART: NEXT LEVEL, OPRAH NETWORK
Originally from Northern California, BT Kingsley came from diverse and humble beginnings where he turned to Stand-Up comedy to help deal with the crazy world around him. His silly, fearless and wacky physical comedy style quickly became popular enough to garner him a role in the feature film Muslimah. He also starred in, wrote and produced the romantic comedy She Wins. Other Credits include: Joke Thief, and national TV commercials for Ford Motor Company and Skittles. Kevin Hart took notice of BT and quickly cast him in his upcoming Comedy Central stand up series. He headlines clubs across the country and features nationally for comedy legend Don DC Curry. Kingsley is no stranger to breaking new ground in front of and behind the camera as you can see from his own program Necessary Drama, which is the first dramatic series on Periscope where he has 2.3 million hearts. @BTKingsley WEBSITE |
