Michael Blackson says the real reviews of a comedy club can’t be found online, but in the parking lot … ’cause you only need to look at a comic’s car to judge his talent.
We caught up with the comedian at LAX Thursday … and, he was picking up someone in a pristine white Rolls-Royce — a car he says cost him a hell of a lot of money.
Blackson claims the car proves he’s super funny … ’cause hilarious comedians get paid big bucks — and can buy very expensive cars.
MB even gives our cameraman a ride around the airport in the whip … telling him he bought the car because L.A. is all about status symbols — with the car you drive being one of the biggest among them.
Michael also gets into growing up poor in Liberia … saying people who come to America from his country usually just send a little money home to try and help their families — but, he was lucky enough to hit it big.
Blackson’s also got some advice for our camera operator … go buy a Rolls, even if you can’t afford it, ’cause people will definitely start treating you differently. Worth noting, Michael’s a comedian — not a financial adviser — so take his advice at your own risk.
And, for all you car buffs, Michael tells us about his dream ride … watch the clip to the end to hear what he hopes to trade up to.
Bottom line … start taking stand-up comedy classes — ’cause there’s clearly money to be made if you’re funny enough!
