Brian Copeland

Brian Copeland is an award-winning writer, stand-up comedian, and actor. He lives in San Leandro, California, with his wife and their three children. His one-man show, also entitled Not a Genuine Black Man, was the longest-running solo show in San Francisco history and opened in New York City in 2006. The San Francisco Chronicle called it “a beautiful mix of wry humor and heartbreak, indignation and inspiration, a singular story of extreme isolation that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt out of place.”
