the show:
The longest running solo play in San Francisco Theatrical History comes to Seattle for a very special limited engagement!
Brian Copeland's first solo show, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN, reveals a little-
The San Francisco Chronicle says "Copeland is a winning, magnetic performer who knows how to work an audience." The show is now the longest running solo show in the history of San Francisco and will soon be a book from Hyperion and a series on HBO.
about brian:
If you were to look up the definition of the word versatility in a dictionary of
performers, chances are you'd find the name BRIAN COPELAND. The multitalented comedian,
writer, television host, talk radio host and commentator has basked in the glow of
both public and critical acclaim for nearly a decade.
Copeland's incisive, cutting edge standup comedy material and his unique ability to hilariously cut to the heart of some of our most serious social and political problems has earned him spots as the opening act for such diverse artists as Ray Charles, Natalie Cole, Dionne Warwick, Donna Summer, Peabo Bryson, Al Jarreau, Ringo Starr, Manhattan Transfer, James Brown, Rick Springfield, Lionel Richie, George Benson, Etta James, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations and the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. In addition to performing in clubs and concert halls across America, he has appeared at such venues as Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Taj Mahal and Trump Palace in Atlantic City and Constitution Hall in Washington DC.
