Description

Saxophonist J.White in collaboration with BlacKnight Productions and Good Energy Productions brings you the hottest concert series to hit the Valley of the Sun in years. Each month J.White and his live band will perform an opening set then welcome to the stage his nationally known friends who will give a feature performance for the crowd. To keep the series fresh, the genre of performances will differ month to month varying in R&B, Comedy, Jazz, Soul as well as others.

This month, J.White welcomes his friend Pierre, an American actor, director, writer, and stand-up comedian. Pierre appeared on the first year of HBO's Def Comedy Jam, then starred on BET Comicview, and he was also featured on comedy shows: Showtime at the Apollo, Martin Lawrence Presents First Amendment and other late night TV shows.

He worked alongside Oscar winner Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle when he played Nisi's boyfriend in the 1997 movie B*A*P*S, starred opposite Bill Bellamy in Def Jam's How to Be a Player, and played partner (detective) to actor Leslie Nielsen in the movie 2001: A Space Travesty. After a few small roles in The Wash and The Breaks he wrote, produced, directed and starred in the theatrical urban classic For Da Love of Money.

Pierre has also toured with R&B acts Mary J Blige, Dru Hill, New Edition, Patti LaBelle, Frankie Beverly, etc.

The radio world got a chance to experience Pierre with his numerous guest hosting appearances on the Steve Harvey Morning show. His first love is the comedy club stage, where he has headlined: Improv's (Dallas, Houston), Carolines (NYC), the FunnyBone (Shreveport La, Boise Id, Vicksburg, Ms), Uptown Comedy Corner (Atlanta) and many more. He has also performed at events such as, 'Damon Williams' annual 'New Year's Eve Comedy Bash' at Star Plaza'.

Pierre has performed for the troops home and abroad. He has also performed in comedy festivals overseas: Japan, South Africa, Germany, Amsterdam, England, etc.

Currently Pierre is working on a web series Dating Pierre, Slice Trilogy, and a self-published book "100 Homies and Phonies of Hollywood".

In mid-2020 Pierre became one of the lead Analyst of ComedyHype News. He's also the host of his own wildly star studded popular podcast 'Pierre's Panic Room'.
