W. Kamau Bell is host of FX's hit series Totally Biased, with Chris Rock as the executive producer. This comedic, topical exploration of the current state of America's racism is combined with a little (unknown) history, a little PowerPoint, and a whole bunch of Kamau. And because racism is always attacking in new ways and from new angles, Kamau attacks back by constantly adding new material for a seamless mix of stand-up comedy, video and audio clips, personal stories, knowledge-dropping, and solo theatrical performance. As one of the fastest rising socio-political comics in the United States, he is founding member of the stand-up comedy collective Laughter Against the Machine, and cohost of The Field Negro Guide to Arts & Culture podcast with Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid.

No audio recording available.

W. Kamau Bell has been praised by Punchline Magazine as "one of our nation's most adept racial commentators with a blistering wit." His recent stand up album, [i]Face Full of Flour[/i], was named one of the Top 10 Best Comedy Albums of 2010 by iTunes and Punchline Magazine.
