One of the most popular and highly recognized standup comedians on the road today has also made quite an impression in the television, film and radio arenas. D.L. was mostly recently heard on the New York airwaves, as host of the morning show on WYKS-FM. DL also serves as a weekly contributor to the nationally syndicated radio show, "The Tom Joyner Morning Show." He is currently working on his first humorous book title.

Known for being astute and politically savvy in true comedian style, D.L. served as host of his own late night talk show on CNN "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News." Proving he could, indeed break news, D.L. was able to uncover startling, news-making comments from such guests as former White House press secretaries Scott McClellan and Ari Fleischer, as well as RNC chair Michael Steele.

A standup comedian to the core, D.L. starred in his own one-hour special for HBO entitled "Unapologetic." The special, D.L.'s fourth for the network, is currently available on DVD. In 2007, D.L. starred on the NBC series "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and also HBO's "Def Comedy Jam", as well as the BET series "S.O.B: Socially Offensive Behavior".

As the star and producer of his namesake television show that ran on ABC and UPN "The Hughleys," D.L. is also well known as one of the standout comedians on the hit comedy docu-film The Original Kings of Comedy. A veteran of numerous talk show appearances D.L. switched the tables in 2005, hosting his own talk show on Comedy Central "Weekends at the DL." He is a regular on the late night talk show circuit, including always-memorable appearances on "Real Time with Bill Maher," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Conan." He is frequently requested, and has even guest hosted on such shows as, "The View" and "Live with Regis & Kelly."

In addition, D.L. has headlined several comedy specials including "D.L. Hughley: Going Home," "D.L. Hughley Live", "Shocked & Appalled" and the recent "Unapologetic".

D.L.'s first love, always has been been, and always will be, standup comedy. "From the minute I first walked onstage and picked up a microphone," he says, "I knew that it was what I was meant to do."

Improv in Pittsburgh

It’s been quite a year for improv comedy in Pittsburgh: Friday Night Improvs has just completed its twenty-first season of audience-participation shows, established comedy troupe Hustlebot won the Steeltown Entertainment Project’s FILM FACTORY with their short film, “Roll the Dice,” and Kasey Daley and Justin Zell opened the Steel City Improv Theater on Pittsburgh’s North Side.

Performers from these and other groups, such as Irony City and The Cellar Dwellers, come together each week to mix it up at the Pittsburgh Improv Jam.

And while the Improv Jam showcases veteran improvisers in the featured sets, less experienced performers and those interested in giving it a shot are encouraged to come down and sign up for the open set at the end of the show!

Pittsburgh Improv All*Stars

These same performers put up an even showier show on the last Saturday of each month, under the banner of the Pittsburgh Improv All*Stars! More information on this is available upon request, or simply visit the website below.
