Description:
Radford University and R-Space presents Family Weekend Comedy Show featuring Dulcé Sloan with guest opener David Perdue on Saturday, September 24, 2022 at Bondurant Auditorium located within Preston Hall on the campus of Radford University.

Dulcé Sloan is one of the sharpest, fastest rising voices in comedy. Bust Magazine calls her “comedy gold” while Indiewire describes her as “a fresh and unique voice in the world of stand-up comedy.” She was included in Variety Magazine’s prestigious Top 10 Comedians To Watch list, and SLiNK Magazine just crowned her “The New Queen of Comedy.” Rolling Stone recently hailed her as one of the 10 Comedians You Need to Know declaring “she speaks and they simply fall in line behind her.”

Dulcé has been a correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah since 2017. Her segments, including “9-1-1 For White People Emergencies” and “Dumb Solutions to Policing Problems” have garnered millions of views. She is also one of the stars of the animated FOX series "The Great North", joining an ensemble of comedy heavyweights including Jenny Slate, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, and Paul Rust. In November 2020, Dulcé starred alongside Malin Akerman, Alec Baldwin, and Bella Thorne in the action-comedy feature film "Chick Fight", with The Hollywood Reporter declaring “Dulcé Sloan…not just steal(s) the movie but make(s) sure that no one else even comes close.” In October 2019, Dulcé’s Comedy Central Presents stand-up special premiered on Comedy Central. The New York Times included the half hour in their “Best Comedy of 2019” roundup.

Dulcé has “a voice that doesn’t pander or bully, but comes at you straight. With a chaser of Joy,” according to Ozy.com. She has made multiple appearances on E! News Daily, Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, NPR’s iconic current events quiz show Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and CNN’s annual New Year’s Eve Live. She was featured in OWN’s four-part series Black Women Own the Conversation, in which black women came together to talk about the issues that are important to them. She has also been seen on several comedy fan-favorite TV series including Comedy Central’s This Week at the Comedy Cellar, TBS’ Conan, Amazon Studios’ Inside Jokes, TruTV’s Comedy Knockout, and MTV’s Acting Out. Dulcé is a favorite on the comedy festival circuit, with appearances at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Melbourne Comedy Festival, and the Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver installments of the Just For Laughs Festival. She tours nationally and internationally, performing her signature fresh and honest stand-up that speaks truth to power and eviscerates the
status quo.
