    Q. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

    A. Well, I am Raheem Holt from Pulaski, Tennessee. It’s a very small town where we have about 3 red lights and before you know it, you’ll be in another city. I am a multi-talented man, but I’ll say I’m a comedian first, then an actor, host, writer and currently working towards being a producer as I do a little part-time work behind the scenes.

    Q. What made you want to be a comedian?

    A. As a child, I always made funny videos that would make everyone laugh. I would get so excited to make my family and friends laugh through the stories I told and just be myself. It wasn’t until later that I found out it was an actual gift of mine and there was a name for it. Looking back on the videos I made, I realized I had been a comedian the entire time.

    Q. Tell us one fun fact about yourself?

    A. A fun fact about me is before every performance I stretch and play video games. That’s my warmup. I can play video games for 20 hours nonstop and not get tired.
