History has a funny way of repeating itself. Take the Windy City of Chicago circa the 1820s when a self-proclaimed Brooklyn street politician named Al Capone revolutionized the crime world with his hustling antics. Nearly 70 years later, the Bronx is introduced to Derrick Lee, another hustler who trades in his ruggish-thuggish ways to become a successful entrepreneur and later metamorphosize the world of comedy as Capone, the Gangster of Comedy.

Today, the notorious funnyman is also the C.E.O. of D.D.L. Enterprises (his initials) and owns three businesses in the Bronx -a barber and beauty shop and a computer store. In addition to his acute business savvy, Capone’s ability to adapt to any audience has made him a mainstay in the comedy arena. He’s performed at a slew of comedy clubs including New York’s Caroline’s Comedy Club, Uptown Comedy Club, Boston Comedy Club and tons of universities. It is this same universal comedic flair that helped Capone nab his gig as the host of Harlem’s legendary Amateur Night at the Apollo Theatre. “My jokes are personal -relationships, children, society, work, ethnicity,” admits Capone who also hosts the majority of the Apollo’s scheduled concerts. “I transform it into a comedic vision.” Luckily for the humorous, the gangster of comedy and his silly comrades had an even bigger vision -to unite The Big Apple’s top five comedians (Capone, Talent, Gerald Kelly, Drew Frasier and Rob Stapleton) for a N.Y. Kings of Comedy tour. “We decided to put this show together about a year ago, but it was difficult with everyone’s conflicting schedules. But when we finally came together I went straight to the Apollo and made it happen.” The Royal Fam’ is such a hot commodity that the show sold out in less than a week and a second show had to be added. “We’ve gotten an overwhelming response and I’m hoping the show will travel soon.”

As if he isn’t already inundated with enough projects, Capone has also done album skits for one of the Ruff Ryder’s canines Drag-On’s solo debut Opposite of H₂O and is currently completing his own debut My Life Was No Joke, a clever fusion of comedy, rhythm and blues and rap due out this July. Capone who is also remembered for his unique style of dress is also planning to launch his own clothing line in the near future. With such a hefty plate, it’s hard to imagine what Capone will most be remembered for -his contribution to the history of comedy or his flourishing businesses. “I want to be remembered as the comedian who handled things his way,” says Capone who also manages to be a doting father despite his dual career. “And as far as my personal contribution, I’d like to touch the lives of people who did not believe in themselves. Everybody has problems that they sometimes can’t control. But after the dark tunnel there’s always light, it’s just how long you’re willing to walk that path.”

Using his experiences growing up in Newark, Bill Bellamy started doing stand-up while he was a student at Rutgers University. Bellamy quickly discovered how much he enjoyed making people laugh, and began honing his skills at small comedy clubs around the country and was soon making waves in the New York clubs like The Improv, The Comic Strip, and at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles.

In less than two years of launching his stand-up career, Bellamy earned a spot on HBO’s DEF COMEDY JAM where he notoriously coined the phrase “Booty Call.” The now famous late-night rendez-vous moniker became the name for his first comedy special for Showtime; “Booty Call” and it was instantly one of the network’s top-rated specials.

Benji Brown has taken over stages and airwaves with his original style of comedic relief. He is currently an on air personality for the syndicated Rickey Smiley Morning Show.

He also appeared on episodes of the TV One sitcom The Rickey Smiley Show in 2014, and in 2013 he had a guest performance for the Sony Ericsson World Championship Tennis Tournament.

Witty, vivid, and hilarious, he’s a comedian who is more than just the next household name; he is creating his own platform.

It all began around 1999, with an agent giving him a card. After that though Benji waited about 6 months to even call him. Once he did he was asked to come do stand up. Although his first time consisted of him reciting about 10 minutes of all he could remember from an Eddie Murphy skit, the crowd was pleased. From then on he began to study the craft, and create his own niche. Benji Brown has also made numerous appearances on BET’s Comic View, as well as hosted Improv in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and West Palm Beach, and was the star personality for Cox Radio WEDR 99 Jamz Morning Show in Miami.

Growing up in Miami he would make the hallways his platform to capture the attention of many. He was the jokester and sometimes a prankster, but learned early on the power to escape reality that laughter possesses. Benji made friends with twin girls, who both were dealing with the pain that sickle cell brought. So freshmen year he would get off the bus, walk away from the school, and make his way to their house. He would have them smiling and laughing from his antics. That served as practice for him, as well as therapy for them. They all ended up taking make up courses the next year, causing their bond to grow even stronger. Unfortunately, they both ended up succumbing to the disease. Before the second sister died he promised her he would start a foundation in their names. He now dedicates many of his shows to them.

Benji became well known throughout the college circuit of comedy and national comedy clubs, in addition to working with a large list of headliners including: Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, Rickey Smiley, and Monique. His DVD feature films include Benji Brown: The Breakthrough; which complemented his top selling comedy film, In Touch With Reality, directed by Melvin James. That was often compared to Dave Chappelle’s comedy and sketches. He also released Nothing Is For Free the spring of 2007. Completely devoted to being better, he continually looks for ways to expand his reach. Benji has appeared on Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx’s Laffapalooza, and STARZ’s 1st Amendment Comedy Show. As well as guest starring on the 1st season of BET’s reality show College Hill. Previously, Benji was showcased on ESPN’s Cold Pizza and 360 Degrees – Game Night, as he also regularly hosts national football player’s celebrity and charity events.
