MONTGOMERY Ala.
Darryl Moore’s fellow humorists call him the “Meanest Comic in the World.”
And considering some of the things he’s gone through bouts with cancer, depression and being homeless you wouldn’t think he has much to smile about.
But Moore has dedicated his life to making others laugh and his nickname has more to do with his sidesplitting routines than his personality (he’s a nice guy, by the way).
The up-and-coming comedian/actor currently has a lot on his plate. He recently appeared in the movie “Three Can Play That Game” starring Vivica A. Fox (the sequel to the movie “Two Can Play That Game”). He is also scheduled to perform at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Atlanta in August.
“I truly believe it’s my time to shine,” Moore said. “I have been through so many obstacles and different periods in my life, but God continues to bless me and continues to allow me the chance to make the world laugh.”
His interest in comedy started at Tuskegee University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s in education. He cracked jokes with his peers all the time and people would constantly tell him he should become a comedian. Moore, however, dismissed the idea.
