DeRay Davis

DeRay Davis Headshot

Comedian • Actor • Host

Birth Date: February 26, 1968

Age: 56 years old

Birth Place: Chicago, Illinois

Like many comedians of the big and small screen, DeRay Davis began his career performing his stand-up routine in comedy clubs. His career quickly took off after performing well-received acts on the Cedric the Entertainer Tour, which led to the funnyman appearing in many of Cedric's films, including both "Barbershop" comedies and 2007's critically panned "Code Name: The Cleaner." With his vulgar yet personal stand-up act, Davis has earned significant attention in the comedy circuit; his Showtime special "DeRay Davis: Power Play" made a splash in 2010, leading to a good-sized role in the well-received 2012 adaptation of "21 Jump Street."
