Tracy Morgan, of Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock fame, performs at The Wilbur April 30 for two shows rescheduled due to COVID-19. The two-time Emmy-nominated comedian will perform at 7 and 9:45 p.m. As of Feb. 27, the 7 p.m. show was sold out.
A staple on the comedy scene for the last 15 years, Morgan was a cast member on SNL from 1996 to 2003, and became a household name when he starred in Tina Fey’s 30 Rock from 2006 to 2013. He currently executive produces and stars opposite Tiffany Haddish in The Last OG, a TBS comedy series available on HBO and Hulu that just released its fourth season.
Morgan has put out three standup specials — 2010’s Black & Blue for HBO, 2014’s Bona Fide for Comedy Central, and 2017’s Staying Alive for Netflix. The latter was his first special since a life-threatening car crash in 2014 that left Morgan in a coma for two weeks. His movie credits include The Longest Yard, The Other Guys, Death at a Funeral, and What Men Want, in which Morgan stars opposite Taraji P. Henson.
In recent years, Morgan’s done a number of films as a voice actor, including Rio, Rio 2, and the Oscar-nominated Boxtrolls. Morgan has been nominated for two Emmys — one for SNL and one for 30 Rock.
