INTERVIEWWITH BREAL- BFUNNY
When did you fall in love wit h comedy and act ing ? Comedy started when I was a child , making people laugh such as my family . Everyone used to call it playing the dozens , or being the class clown in school .
I just enjoyed making people laugh . I had no idea on becoming a comedian or writing movies it was just a vision out of my head that came from no where .
I awoke out of my sleep one day and started to write and laughing to myself . So this is how it happened .
Is t here anyone who inspired you along t he way ?
Basically I love all the comedians now , but people who I grew up watching were , Richard Pryor , Eddie Murphy , even the current comics such as Dave Chapelle . My favorite stand up comedian is Mike Epps and I can ' t forget my boy Black Azz . Black Azz , that ' s B . L . A . C . K . A . Z . Z . so y ' all won ' t get it wrong , my best friend we doing this together and we stand for something positive . ..... Back to the comedy thing , basically my concept of being different , I didn ' t want to do everything that everyone else has been doing . So I just take stuff that goes in in everyday life and turn it into something funny .
How did act ing and comedy change your life ?
It changed my life a million ways , but the most important one to start off saying is , it ' s stress reliever , it ' s something that i can call my own . Normally I would be playing basketball , punching a bag , lifting weights and things like that . And actually the people enjoy it . And I like making people laugh so if there ' s anything i can do to put a smile on people ' s face ... and laughter is good for the soul . Laughing is very beautiful and if you can put a smile on a person ' s face you can change their life around , it ' ll eliminate the negativity and craziness going on .
If you could writ e a let t er t o t he person t hat t old you No , or t his will never work out , what would it say ? ( Talking t o your inner child )
I ' ve heard a lot of No ' s , and I tell people if you constantly listen to people telling you No and you stop and give up on your dreams and goals you ' ll never make it . When people told me No , I really didn ' t listen to it . But if i had to say something to that person that told me No , that would be later on in life and they could see that i kept going after they told me No and say to them look at me now . So where would I be if I had of listen to you after you told me No and I gave up on myself .
On a scale of 1-5 , 5 being t he highest how would you rat e your t alent verses t he t alent in t he bay area ? And why ?
I give myself and being honest a 2.5 maybe 3 , because basically there ' s a lot of funny people and I don ' t like to put myself in any competition and I don ' t like to put too much on myself . I also don ' t like to put myself in categories . I everybody else do the judging and talking . But I can say as I am developing as I am growing with the comedic career that I chose , I ' m getting better and people will see it in my 3rd B Real B Funny movie .
