About Me

 

Michael Anthony Scott delivers his comedic perspective with an authentic, free-form style on everything from politics, current events, black life on the streets, dating, and plastic surgery, to tips on how to avoid being laid-off, situations that require the implementation of "emergency black," and his take on other relevant societal issues.

 

 "The Black" Michael Anthony Scott (so not to be confused with Michael Scott of "The Office"), provides his astute observations on everyday life, without going for the easy ridicule, and instead finding the precious humanity in everyone.

Michael also specializes in writing and directing comedic hip-hop musicals, and has participated in film festivals for "You Ain't Gotta Lie Craig," "Willie Makit," and "The Golden Mic."
