Danny Brown Launches His Stand-Up Comedy Career

by Daryl Nelson

Danny Brown's last album is 2019's U Know What I'm Sayin? And his next LP is titled Quaranta. But there's a chance the Detroit rapper will put out a comedy album one day, because he's now a stand-up comic.

Brown did his first stand-up routine on Thursday, September 23 in Huntsville, Texas, after being encouraged by his friend Hannibal Buress to get on stage.

Tonights my first time going on stage and doing stand up … wish me luck 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
