The Mooney Twins - Conscious Comedy
Laugh and learn with the legendary Mooney Twins, veteran stand-up comedians and twin sons of the great comic, Paul Mooney.
The Mooney Twins (Daryl and Dwayne) are the veteran stand-up comedians who coined the phrase "Conscious Comedy." These two brilliant brothers offer a unique style of humor that is not typical of black stand-up comedy today. "Conscious Comedy" is both funny and socially relevant for these modern times. The Twins are intelligent and articulate men who use their uncanny wit to inform audiences about current events and the social ills that affect contemporary American society such as racism, sexism, and media misinformation. Following in the footsteps of the great comic legends Dick Gregory and Paul Mooney (their father), these master joke-tellers possess a special ability to make people laugh and think.
The Mooney Twins perform in comedy venues around the country as well as making guest appearances on televised programs such as BET's Comic View and The Montel Williams Show. The Mooney Twins' Conscious Comedy works like a healing balm against the social challenges that people encounter on a daily basis. Their humor with a message is profound and special. The Mooney Twins are making a positive difference in people's lives and in the world of stand-up comedy.
