Anthony Griffith, was destined to make you laugh. Married, growing up in the inner city and reared by a religious mother, all help lay the foundation for Anthony's hilarious insights about life, liberty and the pursuit of sanity. </p> <p>Anthony's rise in comedy is in no small part due to his inventive brand of humor. Whether reminiscing about a younger brother saddled with hand-me-downs, "even his childhood pictures were old pictures of me", or his thoughts on marriage, "After twenty years, five stitches and one restraining order, I've learned to say I'm sorry." </p> <p>It's this story-telling style that captured the attention of Lea Thau of The Story-ville Center for the Spoken Word. Invited to participate in "The Moth" story-telling festival in Aspen, Co. several years ago, Anthony mesmerized audiences with his raw honesty and wit, sharing a personal story never before revealed.</p> <p>STAND UP </p> <p>"Comic's Unleashed w/Byron Allen" </p> <p>"Comedy Central's Premium Blend" </p> <p>"Tonight Show" - (3x) w/Johnny Carson, (3x) w/Jay Leno </p> <p>"The Arsenio Hall Show" (6x) </p> <p>"Comic Strip Live" (7x) </p> <p>"Showtime" Comedy Special </p> <p>"Evening at The Improv" </p> <p>"Star Search" Finalist w/Ed McMahon </p> <p>"VH1 Comedy" hosted by Rosie O'Donnell </p> <p>"Late Friday" </p> <p>Young Comedians: Making America Laugh ... aka Bob Hope's Young Comedians: Making America Laugh HBO's 14th Annual Young Comedians Special (1991) </p>
