Michael Colyar breaks the mold set by many African-American comedians by delving into routines that are neither vulgar, nor profane, nor directed exclusively to a black audience. Tagged Colyar "The King of Venice Beach"), Colyar's schtick transcended demographical barriers by appealing to those of all ages, ethnicities, and personal backgrounds. Michael scored his on-camera breakthrough in 1990, when he won the standup competition on “Star Search”.
