Kwasi bridges the gap between insightful observations about race and still thinking he could be a Power Ranger when he was 15. He's opened for the socio-political comedian W. Kamau Bell and co-produces Laughing Liberally Boston, a show that combines comedy with progressive politics. He's been featured in the 2015 Boston Comedy Festival, The Comedy Exposition in Chicago, and was chosen to be Comic In Residence for December 2017 at the The Comedy Studio.
