Standup Comedian (Amazon, JFL) Launches Comedy Podcast: Black Card Rehab
The Californer/10061052

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Standup Comedian, Kristal Adams (Amazon Laugh After Dark, JFL, Big Pine Best of Fest Winner 2019), is very familiar with having her "Black Card" questioned. "Having your Black Card revoked" is typically a phrase used to shame members of the Black community for their lack of knowledge in Black culture. However, Adams is turning this phrase on its head in a new podcast that hilariously addresses societal expectations of what a Black person is "supposed" to know.

Kristal Adams co-hosts the podcast with fellow standup comedian Paige Wesley (Cult Podcast, Roast Battle), whom she refers to as her "White Friend Paige" and who, more often than not, knows more about Black culture than guests and listeners would expect. Every week, comedians and artists are invited to geek out about a subject in Black pop culture that they know a lot about. Kristal, herself, pokes fun at how little she knows and starts every episode by weighing in on how she's feeling that day on a scale of "Zero to Black."
