  • Rush and Zapata Talk Episode 4 Featuring Tyrone Hawkins

    Join Rush and Zapata for another fire podcast with comedian, writer and actor, Tyrone Hawkins. 


    Tyrone Hawkins is a graduate of the world famous Cincinnati School for the Creative and Performing Arts. His major? Comedy!


    After a couple of bad record deals he realized becoming the next Tupac wasn't in the cards.

    Tyrone re-invented himself by studying the martial arts. While training endlessly to attain a fifth degree black-belt in Yoga, Tyrone Hawkins began his quest for truth.

    Searching for treasures in the dark places of his mind, through the sweat, and tears of past heart wrenching disappointments, he one day awakens to find peace, and true spiritual creaminess. On that day he held aloft his magic sword, and said "By the Power of Grey Skull... I have the POWER!" Once he had achieved enlightenment he knew it was time.

    Tyrone began this roller coaster ride of a stand-up comedy career in the Puget Sound in 2001. When it just wouldn't stop raining in Seattle, he moved back to his home town in 2003. It was there he crafted the stylish laid back joke telling persona that made him...

    Winner of Jerry Springer's Funniest fan contest 2006.
