"Now that I've been in the game for over 15 years I now know my vision for the comedy game, and that's to show the world Red Grant"
-Red Grant
himself has been blessed to work on, but also his vision as a comedian, and exactly where he sees things heading for his life and career.
Surely, many comics don’t make it for very long in this industry. Many lack that true star power. They don’t necessarily have the tact or knack for captivating the audience. Red Grant is clearly in another crowd. He’s got all that and more. If you haven’t already joined the movement, you’re sure to be on board very soon! Some things are simply inevitable. It’s now time for you to get Caught Red Handed!
Urban Grandstand: Many thanks to you for your time with this interview. You’ve been blessed to be one of the more well-known comedians out there today. What’s been your secret, or formula to building a consistent fan base?
Red Grant: I am truly blessed! I think you have to stay relevant, stay connected with the people & stay real. This is an easy formula. Lol. It’s not rocket science. You have to build healthy relationships with your fans and the people who support your movement. If you don’t they will stop supporting your brand.
“I feel I'm close to being successful] but I have a lot of work to do. When they say success comes with a price, it means you're always working towards that goal"
-Red Grant
Urban Grandstand: Who inspired you to do this?
Red Grant: My Frat Brothers (Kappa Alpha Psi) and friends. When I lost my football scholarship because of my bad attitude, they suggested that I should tell jokes and I took their advice. I’m so glad I did because entertainment is the only job I do well. It’s perfect for me because I love entertaining.
Urban Grandstand: You clearly have that innate ability to make people laugh. Many claim the title as a comedian, but often can’t walk the walk. Where in your mind has your success lied?
Red Grand: It’s true that I have an innate ability to make people laugh, but in my mind I don’t think I’m successful yet. I feel like I’m close but I have a lot of work to do. When they say success comes with a price, it means that you’re always working towards that goal. The work is not easy, but I will continue to walk the walk, talk the talk, and be a real comedian.
Urban Grandstand: Many are used to seeing you with Katt Williams, Luenell, and others on tours. How did you two connect, and ultimately do American Hustle?
