The only thing typical about comedian Solomon Georgio is his move from Seattle to Los Angeles to kick his career into a higher gear. (Seattle, youâre good, but you just canât compete with New York and LA.) Since his 2012 scenery shift, Georgioâs gone on to write for Crashing, High Fidelity, Shrill, Spongebob Squarepants, and to release the excellent HomoNĂŠgro Superior album on Comedy Central Records.
A Black, gay immigrant of Ethiopian descent, Georgio begins his act from a place of invulnerable pride that borders on arroganceâbut heâs charming with it, thanks to a preternaturally calm demeanor, a million-dollar smile, and impeccable material. While self-deprecation is most comicsâ lifeblood, Georgio wields self-aggrandizement like a lightsaber.
But his sets arenât all about how swell he is, though he exploits plenty of humor from that subject. More often, Georgio fiercely and funnily punches up at homophobes, racists, straight people, Tinder, Tr*mp, and other deserving targets. He also riffs hilariously on the âgayest thing in the world,â which, of course, isnât what youâd expect, and why sex shouldnât last longer than an episode of Living Single.
