The veteran funnyman has been making audiences laugh since the 1990s with classic appearances on BET and Comedy Central and as one of the most popular touring comedians in the country. As a live performer, Quake has never stood still. He loves the stage and audiences love him; so even as stand-up comedy shows became less popular in the 2000s, there was always a place for Earthquake on a stage. But in 2014, he made the decision to put more effort behind one particular facet of his career.I was going through a lot of trials and tribulations and my comedy isn’t jokes — I elaborate on things I see and what I believe in. So I called the project These Ain’t Jokes because I’m no jokester.”
With “These Ain’t Jokes,” Earthquake made his triumphant return to TV specials. The show aired on Showtime to rave reviews, and Earthquake says that he had to get everything in order before he was ready to make the return to television and filmed comedy.
