When Cornel West is a fixture at dinner,  you’re bound to have a couple of interesting childhood stories.  Not everyone gets to say “Cornell, can you the f@#$ shut up and just pass the gravy?” Neruda Williams (Harlem Comedy Festival, founder) opens up about his unconventional childhood, his mother’s drug addiction and his kinship with sea turtles.  (We also profess our love for all things Greer Barnes).

Recorded: Comic Strip Live
