He's an award-winning comedian, accomplished musician, playwright and director. "He" is Billy D. Washington (no, NOT that one), the next guest on A Tight 45 with Tabari McCoy!
Once described by The Denver Post as possessing “Low-key intensity and dead on humor,” Billy has been a steady presence in the world of stand-up comedy since 1991.
His long litany of credits include performances at the prestigious 'Just for Laughs' Comedy Festival, Def Comedy Jam, The Bob & Tom Show, Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central and The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson just to name a few. His humor and musical ability has led to him working with many entertainers, including spending 3 years traveling as "The Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin as her opening act.
He has also written and directed 14 plays, 2 award winning short films and in 2020 he created “Tales of the Virus”, an urban story about a pandemic driven zombie apocalypse podcast. Most recently, Billy wrote and produced the satirical romp, Trump Is Gone, a political anthem that has generated over 5 million views worldwide.
On this episode (out on all major platforms on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022), Billy and Tabari talk about their mutual love of baseball, the former's upbringing and its influence on his comedy, cruise ships, labels, working as a police officer before going into comedy ... And a VERY (in)famous person to whom Mr. Washington is related!
