Phat Tuesdays: Comedia hip-hop

Talented black comics are shut out of more prominent white comedy clubs in the 1990s; after the Los Angeles riots, Guy Torry launches an all-black comedy night at the world-famous Comedy Store.

Phat Tuesdays raise the profile for dozens of talented black comedians and open doors into film and television.

Phat Tuesdays becomes a beacon for female comics; comedy legends break down the science of what it takes to be funny; a new generation of comedians launch on social media.
