I have been catching up on the sketch comedy / Daily Show / Colbert Report hybrid series entitled Chocolate News, starring one of my favorite comedians of all time, David Alan Grier. In my opinion, this is a very underrated show.
It only lasted one season and I am currently about halfway through via my Netflix Subscription (it is currently available for instant streaming). Among the many characters that Grier plays, one of them is a trans woman.
The first video features Grier playing a trans woman named Candleabra Effervesance and the second is a spoof of all the African-American actors cross-dressing as “fat black mammas”.
I found both sketches entertaining, especially the part in the MTF sketch when Candleabra’s family members say that she doesn’t have feminine features — watch it, it’s hilarious. This is also a pretty rare occurrence, it’s not often that an actor / actress plays an actual transsexual in a sketch, usually they play a caricature of a woman.
Both skits are embedded below.

Woot! That is a whole lotta drag. Funny stuff!
We can see that crossdressing is not limited to any particular race or profession. Either you is or you issn’t, hope that is plain enough for Fat Momma
I really enjoyed these videos. Keep up the good work. Love and hugs Angie
