Summary

I am thrilled to announce the launch of a crowdfunding project for the upcoming comedy special, “The KING of Venice Beach with legendary comedian Michael Colyar.”

About

He is the multi-talented Michael Colyar, actor, comedian, and author. Michael Colyar is best known for his starring roles in Blackish, House Party III, Norbit, The Princess & The Frog, and his role as Mr. Whitaker on the hit television series “Martin”.

Michael is no stranger to work as he is still packing out shows in major cities night after night. His wit, charm and unique sense of style has been captivating audiences since the 80’s. 

Michael consistently performed every weekend, 5 shows a day on Venice Beach and was rightfully dubbed the “King of Venice Beach” while performing 9 years straight.

His fans can’t get enough of him, “he’s real” “down to earth” “a giver”, they say. Michael’s philanthropic legacy extends beyond his $100K win from Star Search of which he gave 50% to the homeless. Today Michael still finds the time to share laughter with those in need in shelters, rehabilitation centers, schools, and military bases.

A portion of the proceeds from this special will go to St. Joseph Center in Venice, California, a 501 c-3 non profit organization (Federal Tax ID 95-3874381.) The St Joseph Center specializes in Outreach and Engagement, Housing, Mental Health, and Education & Vocational Programs across Los Angeles County. Providing resources & tools to those in need.

We promise to deliver an unforgettable comedy experience on Venice Beach.

But the comedy special is more than just entertainment. As part of his commitment to giving back to the community, Michael Colyar will be sending 1,986 (Significance of starting in 1986 in Venice Beach) blessing bags to the homeless, filled with essential personal hygiene products and more.
