POWERFUL! MOVING! IMPORTANT! I saw Black and Blue in Chicago. It brings forth the generational beauty and tragedy, and lived experience of being black in America. Jamal is enticing and watchable on stage, weaving stories into unexpected corners from all generations. Earnestly and artfully played, expertly directed, much needed show for our times. ... full review

Black and Blue was masterful storytelling. I loved the emotion, vulnerability and diversity of voice and perspective packed into a 45 minute show. Also admired how tight the story was - everything felt essential. I was choked up the entire time and felt transformed by the experience. Jamar, thanks for sharing a personal experience in a such a powerful way.... full review

This show has both a sense of urgency and hope that cannot be ignored. Jamar takes his audience on a journey through multiple different characters’ viewpoints that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on where we are at in this crucial time in history. He knows exactly how to draw you in and captivate you with powerful statements that leave your heart begging for the world to have more compassion. I have never felt more electricity buzz through an audience as I did at this show. ... full review
