David Alan Grier & Tommy Davidson Returning to Treasure Island, 2/12

Stars of the hit 90's sketch comedy show In Living Color, David Alan Grier and Tommy Davidson, will split the stage at Treasure Island, February 12 at 9 p.m.

Already one of Comedy Central's "100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time," David Alan Grier is busier than ever. Between filming the second season of NBC's "The Charmichael Show" and appearing as "The Cowardly Lion" on the all-star television event "The Wiz Live!," Grier found time to split the screen as the Ben Carson to Jimmy Fallon's Donald Trump on "The Tonight Show."

Grier began his career on Broadway as Jackie Robinson in "The First," for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. He then joined the cast of "Dreamgirls" before starring opposite Denzel Washington in "A Soldier's Play" and the film adaption "A Soldier's Story." Since then, he has frequented screens large and small with both comedic and dramatic work, including roles in "A Different World," "Jumanji," "The Woodsman," "Crank Yankers," "Boomerang" and, of course, "In Living Color." Grier has also kept busy on Broadway, earning his third Tony nomination in 2012 for his standout role as "Sporting Life" in "Porgy and Bess."

As a cutting-edge, young standup comic, Tommy Davidson earned an ardent following in Washington, D.C. before hitting the road as the opening act for Patti LaBelle, Kenny G and Luther Vandross. Next, he moved to Hollywood and began headlining at a number of comedy clubs, which lead to a starring roll in "Partners in Crime" and "In Living Color."

Davidson also had recurring roles on "The Bernie Mac Show," "Martin" and "Malcom and Eddie" and provided the voice of "Oscar Proud" in the Disney animated series "The Proud Family," hosted FOX's "The NFL Show" and recorded three Showtime specials: "On Strength of New York," "Illin' in Philly" and "Takin' it to DC." His film work includes Spike Lee's "Bamboozled," "Juwanna Mann," "Booty Call" and cult classic "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls."
