About

Theater, television and film dot David Alan Grier's career to date, and his
ability to excel in all three mediums is a testament to the man's inherent
sense of comic timing. Trained in Shakespeare at Yale where he received an
MFA from the Yale School of Drama, the multi talented Grier was
subsequently named one of Comedy Central's "100 Greatest Stand-ups of All
Time".

Grier began his professional career on Broadway as Jackie Robinson in The
First, for which he earned a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actor in a
Musical and won the Theatre World Award (1981). He then joined the cast of
Dreamgirls before going on to star opposite Denzel Washington in A Soldier's
Play, for which both actors reprised their roles in the film adaptation titled A
Soldier's Story. He appeared in Robert Altman's Streamers and won the
Golden Lion for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival (1983).

His television work is highlighted by a turn as principal cast member on the
Emmy Award winning In Living Color (1990-1994) where he helped to
create some of the show's most memorable characters, DAG (2000-2001)
and Life with Bonnie (2003) which earned an Image and Golden Satellite
nomination. David created, wrote and executive produced a show for
Comedy Central called Chocolate News (2008). Grier also won America's
votes as a smooth, debonair, and outrageously irreverent contestant on
ABC's smash hit Dancing with the Stars (2009). But Grier didn't hang up his
dance shoes just then—he later appeared in the Wayans Brothers' spoof
movie Dance Flick which hit theatres in May 2009.

In Grier's first book, BARACK LIKE ME: The Chocolate Covered Truth
(Touchstone / Simon & Schuster; October 6, 2009), the acclaimed comedian
expounds on politics, culture and race while recounting his own life story in
this edgy, timely, timeless, and hilarious memoir and look at all things
Barack.

Grier returned to his theatrical roots 2009/2010; he starred in David
Mamet's acclaimed play RACE opposite James Spader and Kerry Washington
at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway for which he received a Tony
Award nomination. He just wrapped filming the comedy WE THE PEEPLES
opposite Kerry Washington and Craig Robinson. Produced by Tyler Perry, the
film is set for release in 2011.

    Funny Man David Alan Grier

    by DocBR on 10/5/16Lumiere Place - St. Louis

    I always followed the stand up, TV and movie career of Mr. Grier but seeing him live was a whole "nuther" level for this veteran comedian. At age 60, he has the breath and depth of life experiences that allows him to joke about a full range of subjects. Mr. Grier seems to have gotten better with time! I highly recommend his show but don't eat a full meal before seeing him or you might lose it from laughing so hard. LOL
