A Black Lady Sketch Show — childish

A Black Lady Sketch Show couldn’t have come any sooner. From creator, Robin Thede who has gathered a tremendous cast of a talented Black Women. Cast includes Quinta Brunson, Ashley Nicole Black and Gabrielle Dennis. The show is backed my Issa Rae Productions and is also involved in the skits! The celebrity guest on this show is insane. All the classics, new and old including Angela Bassett, Laverne Cox, Phil Lamar (Mad TV), Nicole Byer (Nailed It), Khandi Alexandar (Scandal), MARLA GIBBS and Jackèe Harry just to name a few because the list is too damn long. But impressive as fuck!

It’s so refreshing to see an all Black cast thrive and deliver so well. I feel like it’s been a minute since we had many mainly Black cast T.V. shows since the 90s but it’s like there’s been a robot and I’m fucking here for it. REPRESENTATION MATTERS!
I also I want to point out that these shows don’t feel corny or slave based. Their smart, their intelligent, and most importantly they are saying something. MESSAGE! They are unapologetic and uncomfortable. Shows like Insecure, Atlanta, Watchmen, Randon Acts of Flyness, American Gods etc. It just shows when we are given the chance and opportunity, our creations can grow so big and can create a ball of action. It’s such a beautiful thing.

First off, I really want to acknowledge the introduction to A Black Lady Sketch Show because I fucking love puppetry and I’m so glad they went in that direction. Puppetry will never die!! And there’s actually a lot of POC who work in that industry and I feel like it’s slowly making a comeback too! Plus their theme song is Hot Girl by the beautiful Megan Thee Stallion. She’s a fucking angel and I love her.

My favorite skits so far of season 1:

Get the Belt: This skit has my side hurting, I was laughing so hard. Just the memories of my mother making me get up from my room just to hand her a remote feet away from her. Ohh, and don’t let you get caught talking back! This was a throw back forsure.

Black Lady Courtroom: Have you ever felt the joy of being able to share a public space with other Black people and for the first time can fucking relax and just be you? That’s a 👏🏾 Black 👏🏾 Lady👏🏾 Courtroom.

Rome and Julissa: Hands down my favorite. I’m a big fan of the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet soo I was already in love. But this skit was so funny and smart and who ever thought of doing this is a fucking genius. One of the realest beef of last decade was Cardi B Vs. Nicki Minaj. Full disclosure: I like both and don’t believe in the idea of putting women especially woc against each other. Both bitches are talented as fuck.

I am soo excited for these talented woman and can’t wait for season 2 of A Black Lady Sketch Show. Season 1 is available on HBO and clips of each skit can be found on YouTube.
GO SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN!!!
