Jerrod Carmichael: Ari Told Me I Lack Focus

Hilarious provocative and groundbreaking Jerrod Carmichael was a rising star in 2014 when Spike Lee directed his first HBO special. Now he’s enjoying his best year ever. He picked up a 2022 primetime Emmy Award for his third special Rothaniel where he famously comes out to the audience and recounts the reaction of his religious Southern family. Earning critical acclaim for its mischievous humor and riveting emotionally rich storytelling the genre-breaking Rothaniel set Jerrod Carmichael on an exhilarating new trajectory — see what he comes up with next at his Berkeley Rep debut!
