The premiere special features three emerging comedians – Ron
G., Kanisha Buss and Brandon Lewis. All three
featured comedians have already left a mark in their growing
careers – including Kanisha guest appearing on Laugh Out Loud by
Kevin Hart, alongside networks such as Comedy Central and MTV2, and
Brandon hosting Roast Me, and All Def Digital with over 4 million
subscribers. Affion Crockett Presents: Microphone Masters is
the first ever standalone comedy special for each comedian. Beyond
the planned individual sets, each comedian’s one-hour broadcast
also includes behind the scenes footage of the pre-taped show
filmed in Los Angeles, as well as one-on-one interviews for a more
intimate and personal look at all three performers.
Delmar Washington and Affion Crockett lead the production of the
innovative series, with Affion presenting each special. A graduate
of USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, Delmar is an accomplished
writer, director and producer. He has worked with Dave Chappelle
documenting his various global tours and behind-the-scenes material
for his Netflix specials. He also directed the groundbreaking
sci-fi thriller OUTSIDERS, which debuted at the 2021 Tribeca Film
Festival. Most recently, Delmar directed award-winning film Black
Girl Missing starring Garcelle Beauvais for Lifetime. Affion has an
extensive career that expands over 20 years as an actor, writer,
comedian, dancer, rapper, and director. Affion’s first appearance
on HBO's Def Comedy Jam demonstrated his crystal-clear impressions
and physical comedy, which continued into his sketch work on MTV's
Wild'n Out. He has gone on to appear on various hit shows from
HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm to ABC's Black-ish. Affion and Delmar
collaborated on Affion’s first ever comedy special, Mirror II
Society, that had its debut on Peacock in December 2021. His last
film, A Hip Hop Story premiered to rave reviews and is showing now
in AMC theaters across the country.
