Dewayne Perkins—"Laughing Through Life" (Episode 35)

“I think people get it mixed up all the time, as if like an aversion to the construct of whiteness means you don’t like white people, and I’m like, ‘No—did I not just say I love Hilary Duff?!’ White people are fine—what’s bad is whiteness as a construct used as a tool of oppression.”

We chat with comedian, actor, and writer Dewayne Perkins about finding his way to comedy, building jokes, and writing for The Break with Michelle Wolf.
