Establishing himself as a clean comic, his down home southern humor has made him a favorite in the nation’s top comedy venues. From intimate comedy clubs to sold out crowds at Madison Square Garden, the Universal Amphitheater and the Lincoln Center, Rickey’s unique style of humor resonates with his audiences unlike any other comic on the road today.

He has continued to please. In November of 2002, Rickey joined fellow heavyweight comedians D. L. Hughley, J. Anthony Brown, Bruce Bruce, Earthquake, and Sommore on the Latham Entertainment Presents Tour. This multi-city mega stadium tour, produced by Walter Latham of the Kings and Queens of Comedy, was a huge success. Walter Latham will be putting them back on tour in the fall of 2003 because of the demand of more comedy from the fans. Rickey also made his mark in the feature film arena, appearing in New Line Cinema’s ”Friday After Next”, which was released on November 22, 2002.

Best known as host of the 2000 season of BET’s ”ComicView”,Rickey led the show to its highest jump in ratings in the show’s ten-year history. BET then quickly signed Rickey to host “The Way We Do It” during the 2001-2002 season, and that show went on to become one of the top five shows on the network. It’s his genuine love of performing that has brought Rickey many accolades on stage, on camera and off. He was a guest presenter on the 2001 NAACP Image Awards and hosted the special awards banquet for the 2002 Stellar Gospel Music Awards. In his personal life, he finds time to devote to church, to charities, to the Big Brother Program and to family.

    Hi Rickey ..love your show and dem nuts… I need some help with a RIDICULOUS NTTA violation bill I recieved in the mail a $52.36 bill when to $977.36 and a $36.07 when to $736.07. I have been reading up and since they when to “zip cash” it’s basically another way for them to rip off hard working citizens for using “George Bush TurnPike” the name says it all…
    I also got another that I can pay online because of the previous bills. It states that if you don’t pay this it will be turn over to a collection agency and a warrant will be issued. This sounds like utter BS and unethical.I plan on calling the NTTA on Monday but all the post that I have read say that thay are no help at all.
    I am willin to find a lawyer and take it further if need be.

    Have you heard of this and what can you suggest?

    Thanks and love you and the crew.
