Comedian and Chappelle’s Show legend Donnell Rawlings pulls up to The Madd Hatta Show ahead of his Houston Improv shows, and from the jump—it's wild. He kicks it off by roasting Hatta's signature hat and face ("roastable" was the word he used!), but the jokes don’t stop the real talk. Donnell breaks down his come-up in comedy, his unforgettable run as “Ashy Larry,” and how he’s kept the grind going through stand-up, TV, and film.
This episode is straight jokes and gems—funny, fast-paced, and full of insight into the comedy game and longevity in entertainment.
Catch Donnell live at the Houston Improv July 25–27 and listen in to hear why this man is built for the mic… and the moment.
