Smooth Soul at the Rrazz Room With the Dramatics
- Full Price:
- $50.00
- Our Price:
- $25.00
Enjoy some classic smooth soul and quiet storm R&B in the sophisticated and intimate setting of the Rrazz Room, one of San Francisco's premiere night clubs. In their early '70s heyday, the Dramatics were an anomaly: a Detroit singing group signed not to their famed hometown label, Motown, but to the legendary Southern soul label Stax/Volt. Their sound, as heard on hit singles like "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get" and "In the Rain," straddles both worlds, combining the Temptations-like silky-smooth harmonies of Motown with the earthiness of Memphis-style soul. Still performing after more than 40 years, the group features veteran member L.J. Reynolds along with Willie Ford, Donald Albert and Winzell Kelly. Learn More

Donnell Rawlings was hilarious. His opener was also funny. He engaged the crowd well. There were two hecklers in attendance that both the opener and Donnell made quick work of and got those fools to leave. All in all, my ground and I loved the event.Written on Feb 06 2012
As for the venue, they have not so great service. We were seated first in the venue but didn't get a menu until others who were seated much later than us were receiving their meals and drinks.

Donnell was hysterical...and a very intelligent comedian. He covered sex, race, politics...and was able to make everyone laugh like crazy. We laughed at his jokes all the way home and the following days...this event was awesome!Written on Feb 07 2012

Description
Donnell Rawlings is an overnight success a decade in the making. You’ve seen him on Comedy Central’s award winning and critically celebrated Chappelle’s Show as "Ashy Larry", the 70’s jheri curled ‘Beautiful’, and numerous other characters he’s played. Donnell is the franchise player Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan wanted as a writer and prime time player on their team. Since Dave Chappelle had business to take care of in Africa, Donnell was asked to step into the huge shoes Dave left behind, and host the Lost Episodes.
His unique brand of observational humor earned Donnell co-hosting duties on Power 105’s (NY’s #1 Hip Hop and R&B radio station) morning show “Egypt and Ashy in the Morning”. He is now co-hosting The Big Tigger Morning Show on WPGC in Washington DC. Donnell can be seen regularly on E!’s hit show Chelsea Lately and MTV’s Hatin' and The Guy Code. His hour-long stand-up special Ashy to Classy premiered on Comedy Central October 23, 2010, and is also available in stores on DVD. He also enjoyed reprising his character of Day-Day Price on HBO’s Emmy Award winning series The Wire during the show’s final season (2007- 2008). In 2007, Donnell co-created and starred in Heavy.com’s hit web series From Ashy to Classy, in which Donnell portrays the loveable yet clueless culture critic, Ashford Lawrence. The series was picked up for a second round of episodes and remains one of Heavy.com most popular shows.
Additionally, Donnell has starred in Reality Bites Back for Comedy Central and tours heavily with his stand up dates. Donnell has performed his intelligently bold stand-up throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean. He has appeared on award winning Law & Order series, Special Victims Unit (SVU) and Criminal Intent (CI) and has also appeared on NBC’s Third Watch and the Emmy award winning HBO special The Corner.
Growing up, this Washington, D.C. native used humor as a means of persuasion with the ladies and whipped out his wicked wit as a weapon of mass destruction in verbal battle. While in the Air Force, Donnell’s wordplay shotdown more military personnel than the G.I. issued arms. When Donnell returned to the States and settled into civilian life, he decided to check out the local comedy scene in D.C. He quickly became the “official heckler” as he ate comedians alive from the audience. One day a local comedian challenged Donnell to bring his act to the stage. Six months later Donnell was performing on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam.
From his weekly guest appearances on New York’s Hot 97 Morning Show, to his role in the blockbuster Spider-Man II and his position as resident “Funny Guy” on the Ricki Lake Show, Donnell rise to stardom may not have been “overnight”, but the journey has given him the life experience to keep his humor edgy and relevant.
Donnell’s peers have noticed his talent and potential. Neal Brennan, co-executive producer and co-head writer of Chappelle’s Show: “Whenever we put Donnell in the game he’s going to hit a home run.” Jamie Foxx says “That guy is a beast!” Wayne Brady commented that Donnell provides “amazing work on the show” and Dave Chappelle feels that “Donnell brings so much to the table...this very funny guy makes it look natural and easy.”
