Donnell Rawlings brings laughs to Chicago

You may know Donnell Rawlings as Day-Day from The Wire, or from his sketches on The Chappelle Show, or from his stand-up. But odds are, if you saw him on the street the first thing out of your mouth would be, “Hey! Ashy Larry!”
The comedian is in Chicago this weekend for a series of shows at Zanies in Old Town and in Rosemont. He joined Jill Hopkins on The Morning AMp to talk about his career in comedy and his brand of “Too Soon” funny. In his own words, “It could be too soon for a joke, but it could never be too soon for a funny observation,” and that’s what Donnell has been consistently delivering over the years at comedy clubs and on the screens.
