from BET's "The Family Business" and "House of Vicious" & Dennis L.A. White from "Notorious" and "Atlanta".
Our upcoming special guest is Actress and Comedienne, Cocoa Brown.
Whenever actress, comedienne and Screen Actors Guild award nominee Cocoa Brown takes the stage,
the world stands still! Brown is undeniably one of the most talented comics and performers of this
generation. The Newport News, Virginia native, born Farah Brown, assails her craft with such passion
and soul searching veracity, when she claims a stage, the ensuing act is nothing short of a force of
nature. This tour de force audaciously draws from painful reminiscences and hard-knock lessons, bravely
weaving humorous tales that uplift, upend and upgrade everything you thought you knew about
comedy. What is it that drives the comic who female fans nationwide have nicknamed "The Truth?" It’s
the sheer will of a woman who survived the worst life had to offer and is still standing. Being
appropriately dubbed as a "comedy machine gun" by America's Got Talent judge Sharon Osbourne, she
has received numerous awards including the DC Comedian of the Year after only a short time of stand-up
and was handpicked by the family of Moms Mabley to receive the 2018 Moms Mabley Legacy Award.
She is a fan favorite and has been all over the world touring regularly and has also been featured on the
Showtime Network Shaquille O'Neal Comedy All-Stars as well as a featured performer at the 2018
Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. Brown brought down the house when she shared the stage
with comedic icon D.L. Hughley for the “Funnier than a Mutha” Comedy Night. Her comedy special
“Famous Enough” is currently streaming across multiple viewing platforms including Amazon and iTunes
and was recently added to the in-flight entertainment selection on Delta Airlines.
Most notably recognized for her lead role in the film Tyler Perry's The Single Mom's Club and For Better
or Worse on the OWN network, Cocoa Brown treats audiences to thought-provoking humor in which she
declares,
“I don’t tell jokes, I tell the truth!” Her Grown Woman delivery, both on stage and on screen, in
supporting roles such as FX's American Crime Story, NBC's Marlon, FOX's critically acclaimed 9-1-1, and
Mindy Kaling’s life-inspired Netflix series Never Have I Ever leaves viewers and top TV and film executives
wanting more. Brown has generated and continues to grow a large and loyal following all over the world
and has proven to her fans—old and new—that not only is she a side-splitting comedienne, but she is
also a versatile actress.
Brown has had guest-star roles on several other notable TV projects including 2 Broke Girls, Psych, The
Soul Man, The Neighborhood, and Breaking Bad, as well as supporting roles in major motion pictures
such as Ted 2 (in which she was hand-picked for the role of "Joy" by Seth MacFarlane), Lakeview Terrace
with Samuel L. Jackson, Lethal Procedures directed by Jahmar Hill, and His, Hers, and the Truth, which
was an official selection of the 2019 American Black Film Festival. In 2021, Cocoa was honored by
Women in Film Dallas with the prestigious Rising Star Topaz Award.
