THEATRE + COMEDY

The Improv Comedy Showcase and Restaurant presents Donnell Rawlings (Ashy Larry).

You've seen Donnell Rawlings on the Comedy Central's award winning and critically celebrated Chappelle's Show as 'Ashy Larry', the 70's jheri curled 'Beautiful', or any of the numerous characters he's played. Donnell is the franchise player Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan wanted as a writer and prime time player on their team.

Donnell has performed his intelligently bold stand-up throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean. He has appeared on both award winning Law & Order series Special Victims Unit (SVU) and Criminal Intent (CI). Donnell has also appeared in Third Watch on CBS, and the Emmy award winning HBO Special: The Corner. Last season, he was featured on HBO's critically acclaimed series The Wire.

Donnell keeps his humor relevant and edgy, and his peers have noticed his talent and potential. Neal Brennan, co-executive producer and co-head writer of Chappelle's Show: "Whenever we put Donnell in the game he's going to hit a double or a home run." Jamie Foxx says "That guy is a beast!" Wayne Brady commented that Donnell provides "amazing work on the show" and Dave Chappelle feels that "Donnell brings so much to the table...this very funny guy makes it look so natural and easy.
