For 15 years African-American comedian Darryl Lenox has been touring across North America and headlining at comedy clubs, becoming one of the best stand-ups in the game.

In addition to appearing on the Conan O’Brien Show, A&E's Evening at the Improv, BET's Comic View, The Best of Just For Laughs Comedy Festival New Year's Eve Special, and Comedy Central Jamie Foxx's Laffa Polooza, Lenox has performed at the HBO Comedy Arts Festival and the comedy festivals of Boston, Chicago, and Vancouver, and won the Seattle Comedy Competition and Best New Play at Vancouver Fringe Festival.

Lenox has even had his own hour-long special on Starz Network called Blind Ambition, whose title referred to his own serious eye problems, which motivated him to work with the Third World Eye Care Society that provides eye exams and donated eye glasses to people in developing countries. The following is the promo for Blind Ambition.

In part 2, Lenox explains how he used European orchestral music to transform his suicidal terror of going totally blind into a comedy routine that has become the most important performance of his career. He also explains his own perspective on comedy career development.
