Years before becoming an actor in films like “American History X” and “Don’t Be a Menace,” Guy Torry was a kid growing up in St. Louis. As a student at Southeast Missouri State University, Torry held impromptu comedy slams in dorm breakrooms. In the mid-90s, Torry created the weekly showcase Phat Tuesdays to give Black comics a platform when many were not welcome at white comedy clubs in Hollywood. He joins us ahead of his sold-out show tonight at St. Louis Art Museum and Comedy for a Cause on Sunday at Kirkwood High School.
