America's canniest impression king goes on tour
Why see Jay Pharoah?
The SNL Impressionist On Tour!
Actor, comedian and regular Saturday Night Live contributor Jay Pharoah has performed stand-up in clubs in his native Virginia since the tender age of 15, citing his love of impressions, and more specifically Gilbert Gottfried's portrayal of Iago in Disney's 1991 movie Aladdin. Joining SNL in 2010, his impressions of fellow black actors Jay-Z, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Lil Wayne, and Denzel Washington received critical acclaim, following his rise to Youtube fame for his impression of Barack Obama.
Since joining the SNL team, his star has rapidly risen, having created a series of viral parody music videos pastiching artists like Usher and Jay-Z, and even co-creating a humorous music rap video with the First Lady herself! Don't miss him this year as he heads out on tour with his newest material.
