Open Mike Eagle

In addition to headlining solo
shows around the world, he regularly performs at festivals such as the 2018 Pitchfork Festival
and the inaugural Adult Swim Festival. Of late, he’s taken his passion for comedy beyond the
studio. Together, Eagle and comedian Baron Vaughn created The New Negroes, a
standup-meets-music variety show that explores and expands perceptions of blackness.
Following months of lauded shows at venues like LA’s Upright Citizens Brigade, Comedy
Central commissioned the show for a full season, which will air in 2019.
