A G White

AG White performing on stageHave you ever noticed how every ghetto has that one white family that will never move out? Comedian A.G.White’s family is THAT family. Born and raised in East New York, one of Brooklyn’s toughest neighborhoods, A.G. is sure to give all of his audiences a real “taste of comedy with a different flavor…”

After getting positive feedback for performances at several Brooklyn nightspots, A.G. took his act to Harlem where he performed at the renowned Uptown Comedy Club. He passed their “New Jack” segment, was asked to return as a regular and later received his first national broadcast opportunity on their newly televised show, The Uptown Comedy Club. Through stand-up routines airing nationally on FOX and in syndication, A.G.’s unique style gained familiarity throughout the comedy arena. Emphatically accepted by New York audiences, talent agents suddenly received word of A.G. White. They observed and enjoyed several of his performances then asked him to perform at the prestigious Apollo Theater in Harlem; leading to his TV performance on It’s Showtime at the Apollo. He was featured as the guest comedian and soon after, performed on the Apollo Comedy Hour. His presentation was so well received that entertainment officials called him to perform as a featured comedian at the Tribute to Robin Harris, held at the Apollo Theater.

Since then, A.G. hosted and performed internationally at various venues including comedy clubs, event spaces and colleges. He broadened his diverse comedic style to reaching audiences such as that for BET’s Comicview and even began producing live stand-up comedy events at National Amusements Multiplex & Showcase Cinemas. A.G.’s stand-up comedy extends to charitable functions including Comic Relief IV, a fundraiser for homeless people. His national broadcast exposure continues to increase and includes performances on Showtime: White Boyz in the Hood Season 1; HBO: P. Diddy Presents The Bad Boys of Comedy Season 1 and Starz Network: Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Stand Up Season 3. All are now available on DVD.

Audience acclaim for A.G.’s various ethnic impersonations such as round-the-way girls, homeboys, white males, Latinos, Jamaicans and Arabs enabled him to cross multi-cultural barriers.

Not only is he on BET’s #1 hit show Hell Date, he is also the creator and host of the Funny as Hell Comedy Tour that is making its way across the country starring comedians of BET’s #1 hit show Hell Date. He was also in a movie that came out last fall titled The Comebacks and has landed 3 national television commercials. He has also been featured in several newspapers and magazines. But the roots of his career go deeper than that. Keedar is a native of Atlanta, Ga. After graduating from Norfolk State University in 2001, he began working as a science coordinator for 3 independent middle schools in Boston. It was during this time that he broke into the entertainment industry. He made his stage debut in a production G.R. Point. After winning several awards including best supporting actor for the entire New England area, Keedar decided to pack his bags and move to New York to pursue acting full-time.

Keedar realized that a successful acting career would have to be built on a solid foundation. This led him to Broadway where he studied at the famed Circle in the Square Theater, which has graduated familiar names such as Felicity Huffman of Desperate Housewives and Philip Seymour Hoffman who won a Golden Globe Award for his role in Capote and many, many more. During his tenure in New York, Keedar performed in Off Broadway and regional plays, and began doing standup comedy, which led to a touring commitment opening for comedian Finesse Mitchell all over the east coast. After 2 years, Keedar was ready for the next step, a move to Los Angeles to snap his career into overdrive. Since being in LA, he has shot three short films that hit the short film circuits, an improv sketch on Nick Cannon’s series Short Circuitz, and his first webisode titled The Untold Adventures of Lewis and Clarke, which was pitched to the Fox Network for their new online division.
