Comedian and actor, he truly made a name for himself after being featured in the 2011 comedy documentary Kevin Hart: Laugh at My Pain. Since then, his career has taken off in a big way. He spent over four years touring alongside Kevin Hart as an opening act, hitting the road during major tours like “Seriously Funny” and “Let Me Explain,” which really helped solidify his presence in the comedy world. Along the way, he made memorable appearances—like in the 2014 comedy film Ride Along, multiple episodes of Nick Cannon’s Wild ‘N Out, and even lent his voice to the 2021 animated hit Tom and Jerry, showing off his range beyond stand-up.

Over the years, he’s built an impressive resume, performing at more than 100 colleges and universities nationwide, bringing laughter to students across the country. He also took time to give back, entertaining U.S. troops stationed in Korea—an experience that clearly meant a lot to him. Before all the spotlight and sold-out shows, though, his path looked a little different. He once had his sights set on the NBA, shining as a star basketball player at Simon Gratz High School before heading to Lincoln University to study communications.

But life had another plan. After a friend dared him to take the mic at Philadelphia’s Laff House Comedy Club, everything changed. That single moment sparked a new journey—one that led him to make his network television debut on BET’s Comic View in 2022, just six months after officially launching his comedy career. Talk about fast progress. Beyond the stage and screen, he’s also shown deep heart and commitment offstage, helping to launch a foundation in honor of his daughter, Taylen Lauren Horton, who lives with Dravet Syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy. It’s clear that through both laughter and personal challenges, he continues to make an impact—not just as a performer, but as a person.
