BT, of SELLOUT fame, plays 2 nights at Laffs

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 11.20.2008
Laffs Comedy Caffe will host an Okie from Muskogee, literally, when Muskogee, Okla.-born comedian BT headlines the club Friday and Saturday.
BT, who has appeared in the Sci Fi Channel's "Black Scorpion" and in the HBO movie "Suckers," was a cornerstone in the cast of the modestly successful 2006 SELLOUT comedy tour, featuring fellow comics Louis Johnston, Vince Morris and Billy D. Washington. The troupe, which had successful runs in Las Vegas and throughout the country, dubbed themselves the "Blackpack." SELLOUT was an acronym for "Serious, Educated, Laughing, Learning, Outrageous, Unique, Talented."
A highlight of that tour was the ensemble segment "Ask a Black Man Anything You've Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask," which involves the audience. We're not sure if BT will do that during his performances at 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and 7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday, but we're willing to bet if someone tossed out a question, he'd oblige with an answer.
Admission is $10, or $15 for preferred seating, at Laffs Comedy Caffe, 2900 E. Broadway, 323-8669.
