Lavell Crawford

Some people are born funny; others grow into it. The latter seems to be the case for Lavell Crawford, a stand-up comedian whose act primarily revolves around his upbringing in St. Louis, jabs at his weight and the women who've wronged him over the years. If his obesity-centric material weren't enough, Crawford's supremely goofy and aloof demeanor only helps to make him more likable. It helps to explain how he ended up finishing second in the fifth season of Last Comic Standing, which he has parlayed into appearances on Chelsea Lately, Breaking Bad, and Workaholics ("Eggs Tyrone," anybody?). He performs tonight at 7 and 9:30 at Hilarities, where he has shows scheduled through Sunday. Check the Hilarities website for ticket prices.
