“Passionate, unapologetic, brilliant, talented, and most of all funny...” - Kevin Hart
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (September 19, 2022) – The Kimmel Cultural Campus, in association with Live Nation, presents comedian, actress, writer, producer, and social justice advocate, Amanda Seales, in the Black Outside Again Tour at the Kimmel Cultural Campus’ Miller Theater (formerly the Merriam Theater) on Friday, November 12, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. With an uncanny knack for taking serious topics (racism, rape culture, sexism, police brutality, etc.) and with humor, making them relatable and interesting, Seales combines intellectual wit, silliness, and a pop culture obsession to create her unique style of smart funny content for the stage and screens.
"Amanda Seals is a comedian and multi-faceted entertainer, dedicated to creating safe spaces and insightful evenings of entertainment with her unique and witty perspective of the world,” said Frances Egler, Senior Director of Programming and Presentations on the Kimmel Cultural Campus.
Amanda Seales is a comedian and creative visionary with a Master’s in African American studies from Columbia University. Seamlessly blending humor and intellect, her unique style of smart funny content spans various genres across the entertainment and multi-media landscape.
She is best known for her iconic role as Tiffany DuBois in HBO’s Insecure; her debut stand-up comedy special, I Be Knowin; as a former cohost on daytime talk show, The Real; host of NBC’s Bring the Funny; and the host/writer of the groundbreaking 2020 BET Awards. She speaks truth to change via her wildly popular Instagram, weekly podcast Small Doses, and book by the same name.
Centering community building in her comedy, she is also the creator/host of the touring variety game show, Smart Funny & Black and of Smart Funny & Black Radio on Kevin Hart’s LOL Network on SiriusXM. Always an advocate for Black voices, she founded Smart Funny & Black Productions to produce and create art as edutainment across the media landscape by any joke necessary.
