BIO
On February 3rd, 1990, a Queen was born
again.
On that date comedian Adele Givens made her professional stand-up debut at the
Regal Theater in Chicago. Since that day comedian Adele Givens has not ceased
to amaze her fans and peers alike. Almost immediately her peers dubbed
comedian Adele Givens the Queen of comedy. The name stuck and it's no wonder,
with such credits as Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam, The All-Stars of
Def Comedy Jam, The Bad Girls of Def Comedy Jam and The Oprah Winfrey
Show. Comedian Adele Givens has reigned supreme all right..
It wasn't long before comedian Adele Givens made her acting debut,
guest-starring in such sitcoms as "Martin", "Moesha",
"The Steve Harvey Show", "The Parkers", a
recurring role on "The Tracy Ullman Show", a series regular
on the hit UPN sitcom "The Hughley's", to name a few. Loving
her newfound tree, comedian Adele Givens branched out to do her very own
morning radio show (The Howard MaGee and comedian Adele Givens Morning Show on
WGCI) in Chicago, but not before filming her first movie role as
"Tricks" in "The Player's Club". Before long, HBO
recognized her majesty by offering her a chance to do her own HBO
half-hour comedy special and television pilot "The Adele Givens
Show". She also served as co-host of the Source Magazine Awards
pre-show on UPN. Lately, comedian Adele Givens has been wowing audiences
everywhere on the recent and very successful Queens of Comedy Tour (13
consecutive sold out dates).
Who could be surprised, after the massive success of the tour's movie
and the Grammy nominated Queens of Comedy soundtrack. It wouldn't take
Miss Cleo to tell what to expect for the tour, as if comedian Adele Givens
hasn't sprouted enough branches on her royal tree, she recently
embarked on her latest leaf, spoken word, an artistry derived from
poetry and giving new meaning to the term "poetry in
motion". Until you've heard her rhythmic, inspiring work, you
have not indulged. Lucky for you, you can catch a piece of the action
on Comedy Central as comedian Adele Givens' half-hour comedy special premieres
May 27th.
On February 3rd, 1990, a Queen was crowned the winner of the crown
royal comedy competition at the Regal Theater in Chicago. Her name is Adele Givens and today, 12 years later - ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!
