Chris Who?

Movie star brothers have it rough. Sibling rivalry takes on an entirely different meaning when your bro’s paycheck can be counted in the millions. For every Frank Stallone or Joey Travolta who has languished in his sibling’s shadow, there is finally hope. Thanks to Dave Chappelle, Charlie Murphy has become...

Movie star brothers have it rough. Sibling rivalry takes on an entirely different meaning when your bro’s paycheck can be counted in the millions. For every Frank Stallone or Joey Travolta who has languished in his sibling’s shadow, there is finally hope. Thanks to Dave Chappelle, Charlie Murphy has become a star in his own right. So has Kevin Dillon, who plays tough, tender Drama on HBO’s Entourage. Tony Rock looks only a little like his brother Chris, and he’s been honing his stand-up comedy skills for more than six years. Tonight will be a fabulous evening of cocktails, comedy, and film at the Miami Improv. The entertainment begins at 8:30 with a screening of director Russ Parr’s American Black Film Festival award-nominated feature The Last Stand. The drama shows the dark struggles behind the world of comedy, and two of the film’s stars, Guy Torry and Kevin Hart, will take the stage, followed by Rock’s star-making turn. Admission is $16.05.
