SNL’s longest running actor and comedian, Kenan Thompson returned to his hometown in Atlanta on February 20 and February 21 to kick off the 11th season of his comedy competition tour series Kenan Thompson’s Ultimate Comedy Experience.

15-20 top comedians performed their best 4-5 minute set to prove who‘s ready to take it to the top. A portion of the proceeds from the Ultimate Comedy Experience will go to the Cristian Rivera Foundation, a non-profit organization that works to find a cure for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare pediatric brain tumor that claims the lives of 200-300 children a year.

Even while starring in his own show “Kenan” and as the longest-running cast member on “SNL: Saturday Night Live,” Kenan Thompson is still working on stage with comedians! His wit, charm, and unique sense of comedic style have been captivating audiences since he was a kid comedian starring in “Kenan & Kel.”
