A South Africa Event on 2016-05-06 19:30:00<\/i><\/p>\n

For Wayne Brady, music and comedy has seemed to be at the center of his wildly successful and diverse career. Wayne has been entertaining audiences with his singing, acting and unmatched improvisational skills for well over a decade. This diversity has led to a career that goes beyond the term \u201ctriple threat.\u201d
\nBrady began his career in Orlando working at theme parks as well as performing in several local theatre shows.<\/p>\n

This is where his love for improvisation was sparked as he was a member of the Orlando improv comedy theater, SAK Comedy Lab.
\nIn 1998, his career took off with \u201cWhose Line is it Anyway?\u201d for which he won a 2003 Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety, Musical or Comedy Series. The show returns this year with all new episodes.<\/p>\n

Wayne went on to host his own syndicated talk show \u201cThe Wayne Brady Show\u201d for two seasons. He was honored with two Emmys for Outstanding Talk Show Host and the show also won Outstanding Talk Show.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Brady returned to his first love, musical theater, and starred in the Broadway production of \u201cChicago,\u201d playing the role of lawyer Billy Flynn. He made a big splash in Las Vegas with his hit stage show \u201cMakin\u2019 It Up.\u201d The show was met with critical acclaim and has been heralded as \u201cpure genius\u201d and \u201chysterically funny.\u201d Brady has taken the show around the world playing in such countries as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and India. Wayne again returned to the live theater in 2010 when he joined the all-star cast in the Neil Patrick Harris directed \u201cRent\u201d at the historic Hollywood Bowl.<\/p>\n

Conquering stage and television was not enough for this unique talent. He was nominated for a Grammy in 2008 for his Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for his single \u201cA Change Is Gonna Come,\u201d off debut album \u201cA Long Time Coming.\u201d In addition, Wayne released a children\u2019s album entitled \u201cRadio Wayne\u201d which took the top spot on iTunes and Amazon kids charts.
\nOn the big screen, Brady has been featured in several films including: \u201cCrossover,\u201d \u201cRoll Bounce,\u201d for Fox Searchlight as well as the animated film \u201cFoodfight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being an award winning host, it is no wonder why he has been tapped to host several high-profile shows including the NAACP Awards, BET Honors as well as guest hosting The Late Late Show for a week earlier this year. His hosting role on the iconic \u201cLet\u2019s Make A Deal\u201d has been garnered with several Emmy nominations including Wayne for hosting.<\/p>\n

Wayne is currently working on new music and will return to the hit BET series \u201cThe Real Husbands of Hollywood\u201d which airs a new season beginning this summer.<\/p>\n
