@seanarussell: Sinbad was one of the biggest stand-up comedians of the 1990s, and he did it without profanity or shock tactics. From HBO comedy specials like Brain Damaged to starring roles on A Different World and The Sinbad Show, he became a household name during a decade when comedy was being reshaped by Def Comedy Jam and a new wave of raw, unfiltered performers. To build arena-level success as a clean comic in that era is something that deserves real appreciation. For many of us, Sinbad was the first comedian who made us laugh until we couldn’t breathe. His storytelling, timing, and physical comedy set him apart. Give him his flowers. #Sinbad #90sComedy #StandUpComedy #BlackComedians #HBOComedy
