DeRay Davis

DeRay Davis is a powerhouse of comedy whose "streetwise" mentality and sharp wit have made him a household name. Born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, Davis first exploded onto the national scene as "Ray the Hustle Guy" in the Barbershop franchise. Since then, he has dominated Hollywood with standout roles in 21 Jump Street and FX’s Snowfall, while famously providing the iconic, Bernie Mac-inspired audio skits for Kanye West’s legendary early albums. On stage, Davis is a force of nature, blending high-energy storytelling with a sardonic, authentic edge. His acclaimed specials, including Netflix’s How to Act Black and the Showtime cult classic Power Play, showcase a veteran comic at the peak of his powers.
