Get ready for a night of big laughs at Lewisville Grand Theater on June 20. Headliner CJ Starr and friends take the Black Box Theater stage for an evening of stand-up comedy featuring some of DFW’s most entertaining performers, presented as part of the City of Lewisville’s Juneteenth celebration.

CJ Starr was raised all over the Midwest, but his comedy was born in Texas. CJ’s comedy continues to take America by storm, making crowds laugh about anything that can happen to a seasoned man trying to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. CJ Starr’s comedy relates to any audience, as he makes fun of his upbringing, his bi-racial family, kids, grandkids, his tenure at community college, jail time, and bad career choices. He currently teaches intro to comedy classes and has a podcast called Hidden Humor, where he interviews people with great stories and diverse backgrounds.

Dallas-native Fonzo Crow is a star on the rise. When he is not performing his high-energy, quick-witted comedy, Fonzo brings his unique perspective to the stage. His comedy will leave you in stitches with stories about fraternity life, married and divorced life, and the challenges of being a father raising stepkids. A favorite among his comedic colleagues, Fonzo has performed at legendary venues including Jay Anthony Brown’s “J Spot,” The Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, Improv Comedy Clubs, and The Comedy Union. He was a semifinalist for Shaq’s All-Star Comedy Jam Tour, winner of Cedric the Entertainer’s Comedy Pays, and has appeared on CW33. 

Raised by his grandparents, with parents who kept life “interesting,” Rogelio Mendoza brings stories about growing up in the hood, bouncing around neighborhoods, family chaos, marriage, and raising kids. With his calm demeanor and unique outlook, Rogelio brings enjoyable comedy to any stage he performs on.
