One of the most popular and highly recognized standup comedians on the road today is making a stop right here in Cleveland!

D.L. Hughley will be taking the stage at Cleveland Improv (1148 Main Ave. Cleveland) this Friday Oct 19 at 7:31 p.m. and 10:01 p.m., Saturday Oct 20 at 7:01 p.m. and 9:31 p.m. and Sunday Oct 21 at 7:01 p.m.

Known for being astute and politically savvy in true comedian style, D.L. served as host of his own late-night talk show on CNN “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News.” Proving he could, indeed break news, D.L. was able to uncover startling, news-making comments from such guests as former White House press secretaries Scott McClellan and Ari Fleischer, as well as RNC chair Michael Steele.

A standup comedian to the core, D.L. starred in his own one-hour special for HBO entitled “Unapologetic.” The special, D.L.’s fourth for the network, is currently available on DVD. In 2007, D.L. starred on the NBC series “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” and also HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam” , as well as the BET series “S.O.B: Socially Offensive Behavior”.

In addition, D.L. has headlined several comedy specials including “D.L. Hughley: Going Home,” “D.L. Hughley Live”, “Shocked & Appalled” and the recent “Unapologetic”.
