Additional Show Dates :
A regular panel member on NPR’s Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me, Alonzo Bodden has been making audiences around the country laugh for more than 20 years.
In August 2019, Alonzo starred in his fourth stand-up special, Heavy Lightweight, which premiered exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. In the special he touched upon a range of topics from slavery, cell phones, and the #MeToo movement, to millennials, Kanye West and Taco Bell. As he says, â€"he likes to mix it up and hopes that audiences will join him for a laugh and a think, or two."
His first big comedy break came when he was on the â€"New Faces of Comedy†showcase at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, but it was as the season three winner of NBCʼs Last Comic Standing, where Alonzo was first introduced to America.
Since then, he has starred in two comedy specials for Showtime: Historically Incorrect and Who’s Paying Attention. He’s also made appearances on ABC’s Dr. Ken and Fresh Off the Boat, Dr. Phil, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Comedy Central's The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and Californication.
He’s also hosted the live touring version of Family Feud, the Just For Laughs comedy awards show along with numerous charity fundraisers.
A car and motorcycle aficionado, Bodden hosted Speed Channel’s 101 Cars You Must Drive and America’s Worst Driver on the Travel Channel, and has joined Jay Leno for several off-road trips on his CNBC series Leno’s Garage. He was also a field correspondent on Animal Nation with Anthony Anderson, and a contributor on the Science Channel’s How to Build Everything.
In 2018, Alonzo released his fifth comedy CD titled Man Overboard, and currently hosts the podcast Who's Paying Attention? where he gives his unique take on what's going on in the world.
99% Funnies a weekly podcast and monthly comedy show fundraiser featuring Dave Reinitz (co-owner of Flappers), Dana Eagle (Last Comic Standing), Jimmy Dore (Comedy Central), and Michael Rayner (David Letterman). Each month we choose a different charity (often local micro-charities) to benefit from our show. In January, we celebrated our first full year of shows, and we're amping it up this year, working with bigger charities. We recently raised over $4000 for Flint, including two shows here in Burbank with Christopher Titus headlining the Main Room, our GoFundMe account, and a show we did in Flint.
Join us as Alonzo Bodden and the ACLU team up with 99% Funnies to hilarious (and humane) results! www.aclusocal.org
