Tommy Davidson

Check back to see where tickets can be purchased for the 2008 Bermuda Music Festival.

An actor, stand-up comedian, musician, and singer, Tommy Davidson's exceptional range has made him a rising force in entertainment.

Perhaps best known as one of the original cast members of the hit television show In Living Color, Davidson has parlayed that success into a flourishing motion picture career.

Recently, Tommy starred in Spike Lee's Bamboozled where he received acclaim and praise for his turn as Womack/Sleep 'N Eats, a character which showcased his comedic and dramatic acting abilities. Most recently Tommy starred in Morgan Creek Productions' Juwanna Mann released in June 2002.

Currently you can see Tommy cracking jokes and doing what he does best, making people laugh, in THE FOX NFL SHOW, which airs weekly on Saturday nights. Tommy co-hosts this new and unique show with football greats Michael Irvin and Tony Siragusa.

He was seen in the provocative urban comedy, Booty Call (Columbia Pictures). Tommy has also starred opposite Jada Pinkett Smith in the romantic comedy, Woo (New Line). He has also made an impressive film debut opposite Halle Berry in Strictly Business.

This fall on the small screen Tommy's voice will be heard in the new Disney Channel animated series The Proud Family.

Davidson started out performing stand-up in local talent showcases where he was spotted by concert promoters who booked him as the opening act for such major music stars as Patti LaBelle, Kenny G, and Luther Vandross.

The next step was Hollywood. He performed at many small clubs, including the Comedy Act Theatre, where among others, he met Robert Townsend and Keenen Ivory Wayans, who would later prove instrumental in Davidson's career.

Davidson's first national television appearance was a starring role in Townsend's Partners in Crime. Wayans who offered him the opportunity to audition for a primetime variety show called, In Loving Color, which became a cult favorite and a huge ratings success, then approached Davidson. Davidson's hilarious impressions of Sammy Davis Jr., Michael Jackson, and others have become infamous.

In Living Color led to three Showtime specials: On Strength of New York, Illin' in Philly, and Talkin' it to DC, and a handsome film career such as a reunion with fellow In Living Color alumni, Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls.
