On March 8 at the Sunset Room Hollywood, Lexus and UPTOWN Magazine will collaborate once again -- this time to proudly honor the contributions of Black comedians to American culture, arts, and entertainment. The event coincides with the 50th anniversary of hip hop (2023), as Guy Torry's iconic documentary "Phat Tuesdays: The Era of Hip Hop Comedy," explores the intersection of the music genre and Black comedy during a significant time in the 1990s.
