Tommy Davidson Brings Laughter To Jackson

Jackson, Michigan is in for a treat this Saturday, June 21, when veteran comedian Tommy Davidson takes the stage at the Michigan Theatre of Jackson. In a recent Instagram post, Davidson himself announced the stop: “Jackson, Michigan! See you THIS SATURDAY June 21 @themichigantheatreofjackson Get Your Tickets Now 🎟️ #jacksonmichigan.” Tickets are on sale now for what promises to be an evening of fast-paced stand-up, spot-on impressions and stories from a career that’s spanned decades.

Davidson rose to fame in the early ’90s as a standout cast member on the groundbreaking sketch comedy series In Living Color. His signature bits—ranging from an uncanny Sammy Davis Jr. impression to wild takes on pop culture icons—won him three Showtime specials and roles on series like Chocolate Sundaes Comedy Show and ABC’s Vacation Creation. Alongside his work on TV, he’s voiced Cream Corn on Adult Swim’s Black Dynamite, and made memorable guest turns on Wild ’N Out, Real Husbands of Hollywood and Celebrity Wife Swap.

Offscreen, Davidson has also built a feature-film résumé that includes Spike Lee’s Bamboozled, Morgan Creek’s Juwanna Mann, Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls and Strictly Business. Documentary credits include I Am Comic, opposite Tim Allen and Lewis Black, and Dying Laughing, alongside Jamie Foxx and Kevin Hart. His memoir Living in Color: What’s Funny about Me recounts an extraordinary personal journey—from his start in foster care to becoming one of comedy’s most recognized voices.

Davidson’s 2025 comedy tour has already hit major markets: In early June he sold out shows in Houston, teaming up with Eric Blake and Chalantt for a night of sketch and stand-up. A Facebook-linked Instagram update read, “Thanks @therealtommycat for selling out #Houston featuring @ericblake21 & @chalantt!
