Quinta Brunson, Gabrielle Dennis, and Ashley Nicole Black will star in a new half-hour sketch comedy series along with creator Robin Thede and executive producer Issa Rae.

Considered to be the first sketch comedy written by, directed by, and starring Black women, A Black Lady Sketch Show will feature a core cast of Black women along with featured celebrity guests.

 

As if Thede and Rae weren’t enough, the show boasts an impressive roster of writers and comedians:

Lauren Ashley Smith, head writer on BET’s The Rundown with Robin Thede, will hold the same position on A Black Lady Sketch Show, along with co-executive producing.
