James Davis: Live From The Town is a raucous hour of comedy that puts Davis’s second-to-none stage presence and crowd engagement on full display. With a captivating delivery that keeps his audience hanging on his every word, Davis shows incredible range, including an impression of Barack Obama as a party DJ; the invention of Barbecue Davis, his professional golf alter-ego; dissections of social topics from #MeToo to police violence; and hilarious commentary on everything from “pimp uncles” to getting his car keyed. James Davis: Live From The Town was filmed at New Parish Theatre in Oakland, CA.

Davis, Alex Murray, Shawna Wexler, Jon Liebman, and John Irwin are Executive Producers. Anne Harris, Ryan Moran, and Jackie Sosa are the Executives in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
