The BET Experience, presented by Walmart, began night one of the comedy series at the Miracle Theater in Inglewood, California. Comedian Chris Spencer and his talented friends, including the legendary Earthquake, delivered a night of unforgettable comedy.

Spencer unquestionably stood out as the perfect choice to unite all the world-renowned comedians for the commencement of the annual BET Awards week. An exceptionally skilled and sharp-witted individual, he proudly touts over 30 years of experience in the entertainment industry, a career that began at the age of six. With a diverse portfolio encompassing acting, writing, producing, directing, and stand-up, Spencer reigns at the summit of the entertainment world. He has showcased his talent in over thirty TV commercials and nine feature films, appeared on countless TV shows, authored a published book, and embarked on nationwide comedy tours.

Additionally, witnessing a troupe of kickass female comics owning the big stage was a total blast. Tiffany Haddish lives by the motto: “Go hard or go home,” and boy, did she go hard! Melanie Comarcho and Aida Rodriguez? Same energy, same awesomeness. Keep slaying, ladies!

Other acts included Finesse Mitchell, Brandon T. Jackson, Andre Pitre, and Lewis Dix Jr.
