Stand-up comedy icon TK Kirkland has earned the title of “Hip Hop’s favorite funnyman.” For over 25 years, TK’s hilarious perspectives on relationships and adult life continue to entertain eager crowds, who gleefully say his tagline “Who Raised You?” along with him at the end of one of his signature jokes.

First breaking out in the early 90s, his smooth style, swagger on stage and hilarious routines quickly earned his peers’ admiration, including the Original King of Comedy, DL Hughley, who counts TK as a mentor.
