Watch the trailer for DeRay Davis’ new stand-up special ‘How To Act Black’


DeRay Davis’ new stand-up special How To Act Black hits Netflix later this month. In advance of the big premiere, the VOD service has released a trailer, giving fans a taste of what’s in store. Check out the brief but funny clip above.

How To Act Black will see Davis breaking down his experiences being black in America. According to Netflix’ description, the Chicago-born comedian will take on a host of topics in his new hour-long including dating, what he believes are the finer points of living and handling show business as a black man — the lattermost which he can be seen hilariously touching on in the above trailer.

Davis taped his new special across two shows at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse back on Aug. 19. The resulting How To Act Black was written by Davis and directed by Marcus Raboy, who has directed a slew of 2017 comedy specials for Netflix including Cristela Alonzo: Lower Classy, Vir Das: Abroad Understanding and, most recently, Ryan Hamilton: Happy Face.

How To Act Black debuts on Netflix on Nov. 14.
