ABOUT DAVID

Combining his polished acting skills with frisky street corner clowning has earned great reviews with a large fan base for his versatility in his material. The main focus of his ire is topical news, so it is no surprise that he is also the host of "Chocolate News." He focuses a lot of his material on his experiences with racism; in no small part following in the footsteps of his father William, who wrote a book on the subject during the 1960s. This inspiration even led Grier to take on the role of polio-stricken Porgy in his Tony-nominated stint in Broadway's Porgy and Bess as a tribute to William, who suffered from the disease throughout his life.

His novel "Barack Like Me: The Chocolate Covered Truth" unashamedly tackles politics, culture, and race while recounting Grier's own life story in this edgy, timeless, hilarious, and revelatory memoir and look at all things Barack.
