Special Guests
Terrell “Big T” Butler
Terrell “Big T” Butler grew up in Oakland, California as the “fat kid”. Terrell quickly learned how roast other kids on the playground. His comedy began as a defense mechanism, and transformed into a means to gain friends. Once Terrell knew he could make the kids laugh, they stopped laughing at him, and started laughing with him. Telling jokes was the icebreaker. Stand-up was a natural path after that.
