Filmed in front of a live audience at Susan Miller Dorsey Senior High School in Los Angeles, Lil Rel Howery: Live in Crenshaw features Howery's hilarious, down-to-earth storytelling as he talks about returning to his hometown of Chicago for his uncle's funeral, being told that it's "his turn" to pay for the funeral since he's so successful, and the experience of taking a bus to Mississippi with his grandmother. He also touches on such subjects as: the frustrations of automated customer service reps, getting asked if he knows famous people, the things he's learned about women from having a daughter, turning 40, and more.
