It almost seems like another era when we went to a taping of The New Negroes with Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle and then, consequently wondered when the world would get to enjoy what we got to see up close.

Finally, that day is just around the corner as the stand-up/sketch/rap comedy compendium showcase will premiere on Fri., Apr. 19th at 11PM on Comedy Central. As you can see from this trailer, you’ve got something really dope in store just a few weeks from now. This will include performances/appearances from Naomi Ekperigin, Lil’ Rel, Chris Redd, Dulce Sloan, Sam Jay, David Gborie, George Wallace, Hannibal  Buress, Candice Thompson, Tone Bell, Clayton English, Sasheer Zamata, Josh Johnson, Lucas Brothers, Kevin Avery, and more.

So, set a reminder (even through we’ll remind you too).
