The four comedians have been breaking ground in the comedy business and bringing laughs for decades with numerous film appearances, countless television shows, sitcoms and standup specials, a talk show, three radio shows and three books. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see four members of comedy royalty come together for this highly anticipated event.

Cedric 'The Entertainer' is best known for crowd-pleasing performances in hit films and television shows such as the "Barbershop" franchise, "Be Cool," "The Original Kings of Comedy" and the popular "Madagascar" animated franchise. He was the Executive Producer and star for five seasons of his own hit comedy series, "The Soul Man" on TV Land. Currently, Cedric stars alongside his fellow funnymen George Lopez, D.L. Hughley, Eddie Griffin and the late Charlie Murphy in the clever mockumentary TV series, "The Comedy Get Down." The series exaggerates what happens to comics while on tour. Additionally, Cedric co-stars opposite Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish in the much-buzzed-about new TBS comedy series, "The Last OG."

Eddie Griffin has received worldwide recognition for acting, writing and producing numerous stand-up comedy specials, movies, television appearances and albums. Notable projects from Griffin include "Def Comedy Jam," "HBO One Night Stand" and "Malcolm & Eddie" for which he won the NAACP Image Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. Most recently he has been featured in the Netflix film "All About The Money," played opposite of Lady Gaga in the soon-to-be-released "A Star Is Born" and his much anticipated Comedy Special "Eddie Griffin: Undeniable" aired on Showtime Network in February 2018. Comedy Central also honored Eddie as one of the Top 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians of all time.

D.L. Hughley has created a name for himself as an accomplished stand-up, actor, talk show host and author. Hughley starred in his namesake TV show that ran on ABC, "The Hughley's," and is known as one of the standout comedians on the hit comedy tour and docu-film "The Original Kings of Comedy." In addition to touring on the Comedy Get Down Tour, Hughley can be heard weekday afternoons as host of the nationally syndicated radio show "The D.L. Hughley Show." Known for being astute and politically savvy in true comedian style, Hughley is a published author. His third book, "How Not to Get Shot," was released in June 2018.

George Lopez is a multi-talented entertainer whose career encompasses television, film, stand-up comedy and late-night television. For two seasons, Lopez hosted "Lopez Tonight," a late-night television talk show on TBS; and television's groundbreaking hit sitcom "George Lopez," which ran for six seasons on ABC. Lopez quickly became one of the premier comedic talents in the entertainment industry and has been named a Harris Poll Top 10 Favorite Television Personality. Lopez also is known for his extensive charity work with various foundations. In 2017, Lopez filmed his HBO Comedy Special, "George Lopez: The Wall, Live from Washington, D.C." He currently stars in the hit TV Land comedy "Lopez."
