Kimberly Chun over at SFBG has a great post on Bay Area comedian W. Kamau Bell, who, it seems, was the first comedian to make a Barack Obama joke. Way back in 2005.

Congratulations, Bell!

Oh, and you can check out the history-making comedian right here in San Francisco at The W. Kamau Bell Curve over at SF Playhouse Studio Theater (533 Sutter). It runs through February 28, Thurs. - Sat., 8 p.m.; $25. Bring a friend of a different race to the show and get in two for the price of one.
