Blackground
BlackGround is an all-African-American comedy troupe of hilarious performers, amazing guests, killer comedy, and a fun-filled celebration of Blackness!
Each performance takes a classic movie with all-white (or mostly-white) cast—think Star Wars or Indiana Jones—and the performers improvise what the Black people were doing during the movie! Come laugh, celebrate, and embrace the essence of Blackness in a way you've never seen before. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience where laughter meets legacy.
BlackGround is an all-African-American comedy troupe that brings a fresh twist to classic movies. They take well-known films, often featuring mostly white casts, like Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and imagine what the Black characters might have been doing off-screen.
The show starts with fun, quick games that get the audience laughing, then moves into a longer, comedic spoof of the movie. It’s a lively celebration of Black culture and creativity, offering a unique and entertaining perspective.
