Melvin Bender
The only way to explain Mels comedy, is straight from the hip. Growing up in a bad neighborhood and being one of the few to make it to college he proved to his self and others that he wanted more out of life than just being average. He worked in the corporate world for years but comedy was in his heart, so he followed the dream. He is able to combine the street life along with the corporate world. His comedy is multi cultural giving him the chance to let people see life the way he sees it. He is able to make fun of real life situations by giving you a view from his eyes, ( Kieth Crosby of Detroit Gospel.com). He has opened for acts such as Cedric The Entertainer, Damon Wayens, Dave Coulier, D.L Hugley and many more. His goal is to become one of the funniest comics in the country and it doesn’t look like he will stop until he gets there.
