Samba Schutte is in the Acement this week. A Mauritanian moves to Ethiopia, attends college in Holland where he wins a national comedy competition, moves to LA and gets on a series on HBO MAX, and eventually stars in his own movie. Samba's story is just another boring story of an amazingly talented person. His bad gig story was one we had never heard before.
