FRANKLYN AJAYE STANDUP

[@e37a]

This guy was and is STILL one of my comedy idols!!!

[@MrHennessy30]

I love Franklin Ajaye. I love the way he derives all his material from events and situations which either happened to him or which he observed firsthand.

[@bold810]

My favorite line from Franklyn is from the movie "Carwash" "..and whatever you do-don't mention cocaine--unless you got some.." see the movie to see this man's timing and pacing...true genius!

[@peterzang]

Just watched it last night

[@morningdove20]

LOVED U then, LOVE U Now, Franklin Ajaye!! And.. will Never forget YOU in the Jazz Singer either!! Many 'Continued Blessings to You' too! Much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️

[@g1underground]

I was just thinking about this guy and had to look him up. My favorite comedian in the 70's. I miss this fool!!! Love a comedian who can laugh at his own jokes!! Always had me cry laughing!

[@stevekirschenbaum9801]

+g1underground One of my top ten favorites of all time.

[@isazisempi2248]

Dave chappelle, Richard pyror and Franklin Ajaye. Super hood intellectual comedy.

[@luxnax]

Stewart Lee unintentionally brought me here

[@GeneBurnett]

I remember an old 70's show called "Make Me Laugh" where the contestants tried to keep a straight face while comedians came up and tried to make them laugh. I remember one episode when Franklyn was on the show. A female contestant was sitting there determined not to laugh...Franklyn strolls up..looks her in the eye and said, "You kinda shy aren't you?" And she just busted out laughing and he strolled back to his seat. So cool. ;~)

[@mayac3539]

I feel like he should have had more roles. He is hilarious!! I was just watching him in bridesmaids the movie from 2011. The few parts he had was hilarious. I wish he was in more scenes. Car wash is definitely one of my favorite movies.

[@tafkawac]

Stewart Lee has let himself go.

[@MrAnseBundren]

...badly!

[@theodorecruz5173]

[@dedrickmcconnell621]

When he was allowed to curse, he was comedy gold!

[@pauljones7088]

Stewart Lee, thanks for the tip!

[@ThePassionOfTheMarc]

I used to love this guy in the 80s. He did this really funny Jamaican bobsled team joke. Not to mention the one he did about the Peoples Court.

[@davidweatherholt3719]

Saw him on the Green Room tonight. Had to see what he's like. Funny as hell.

[@msipes4190]

I was at this performance, at the Punchline in San Francisco in (I think) 1978.

[@restcure]

Two years before I was old enough to get in 😥

[@msipes4190]

@@restcure I was 20 that summer. I think the back of my head is visible when the camera is panning from the back of the room. It was a pretty small venue, maybe a couple hundred people.

[@adicakes]

[@russellstern8232]

Watch Franklin in the show Deadwood. He’s a great actor.

[@oRuTRa45]

I believe that was from "Hollywood Shuffle". I also liked his part in "Stir Crazy".

[@hunkaburninlovexxx]

Franklin had a small part in Bridesmaids. He was the father of one of the girls.

[@ukkfayooyay]

I used to listen to this guy in the early 1970s. Loved him. Where did he go?

[@bonzey1171]

Australia

[@mc_lars]

King Missile reference him on the "Jesus Was Way Cool (Live Version)" from the 1991 "My Heart Is A Flower" EP. That's why i"m here. Hilarious!!

[@snaps2385]

whatever happen to this fine young man?

[@hunkaburninlovexxx]

@snaps2385 He was in Bridesmaids.

[@markovchaney1950]

Stewart Lee is great, but it's kind of sad that he seems not to know that FA is a damned funny comic.

[@danyoutube7491]

Well, he never took the cellophane off the record, did he?

[@kcl4364]

Pretty sure he does. It's a mistake to take things he says in his routine as representing what he actually thinks. His stand up self is a character.

[@BrokenSpirals]

Shame on you Lee. This is funny as fuck!
