Yo, turn the volume up—today we’re spotlighting Tahir Moore, the East St. Louis original who took his talent all the way to Los Angeles. After graduating from Harris-Stowe State University in 2008, Tahir headed west in 2009 and jumped into stand-up comedy full-time. Since launching his screen career in 2012, he’s appeared in short films including The Love Triangle, Mouthbreather, and The List, then broke through as Fast Mike on HBO’s Insecure. He’s also brought his quick wit and personality to All Def Digital’s YouTube series The Drop as a host and writer, and made noise as a finalist in the 2015 NBC StandUp Showcase. From the stage to the screen to the mic, Tahir keeps the energy sharp, funny, and unmistakably his own—so let’s get into it!
