He s "chillin', wiliin' and able." He's In Living Color's Tommy Davidson, and he shows why he's one of the most popular comics today in this uproarious show from Philadelphia. Davidson causes a laugh riot as he delivers the lowdown on things that make him crazy: dangerous messages in beer commercials ("Colt 45. In case y'all forgot, it's a damn gun!" the power of frightmeister Freddy Krueger ("Freddy can be anything—a water-pipe...a damn Pop-Tart!" and square dancing ("Blacks don't square dance. You see a black person square dancing...that's definitely the Seventh Sign. . Illin' In Philly. Great comedy that's definitely alive and kicking.

He still got it. The entire sold out audience was laughing so hard we almost cried. I saw him at the 2022 April Fools comedy show in The Hulu theater in MSG.

He only did a half hour and he killed it from start to finish. And the intro was great. Much respect

I remember seeing this when it first aired on Tv and I was in stiches!!! How many yrs later and it still has me cracking up?! Very underrated talent.

Tommy's comedic style is just simply phenomenal! His status should be just as large as Kevin Hart's. Tommy is just a natural fool. Super underrated talent.

One of the most underrated comics in the game. He drops a lot of serious knowledge in his current routine. And his Sammy Davis impersonation is the best one that I have ever seen! He should have done it in this performance.

Straight NINETIES. The best era EVER. The 50k dollar wheelchair bit had me in tears.
