We know what you’re thinking: “D. L. Hughley, D.L. Hughley--yeah, I know the name, but I must have the wrong guy; The D.l. Hughley I’m thinking of wouldn’t be playing a comedy club. I’m probably confused, but the guy I’m thinking of is one of the best and most successful comedians of this generation. D.L. Hughley? Yeah, wasn’t he one of the “Kings Of Comedy” --along with Bernie Mac, Cedric The Entertainer and Steve Harvey-- a juggernaut that played huge arenas and wound up (apart from them blue collar fellers), the highest grossing comedy tour ever, captured on celluloid by director Spike Lee for the acclaimed, wildly-successful concert film, “The Original Kings Of Comedy.” Wait, wait, wait. D.L. Hughley? Didn’t he have his own network sitcom for a few years--heck, wasn’t it called “The Hughleys”? And speaking of his own TV shows using his own name, didn’t he host a late-night talk show on Comedy Central, “Weekends At The D.L.” And when Comedy Central assembled a list of the “100 Greatest Stand-Ups Of All Time” (and aired it as a special), D.L. placed 54th…on the list of 100 Greatest Stand-Ups Of All Time. Not too shabby. And if it’s the D.L. Hughley I’m thinking of, this guy’s no slouch as an actor, either, even if his name’s not in the title. For example, he was one of the best things about Aaron Sorkin’s post-“West Wing” TV series “Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip.” And he’s been in an array of films, including “Scary Movie 3” and “Soul Plane.” Yes, yes, yes--it’s that D.L. Hughley (do you know another one?), and we’re thrilled that he’ll be performing at Cap City this weekend. With TBA
