Comedy Veteran, Pierre, Gets Real About Race in Witty Stand Up Micro-Special HALF/TRUTHS Streaming on HypePlusTV.com

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Tired of being misjudged and constantly proving himself in the Black community, biracial comedian and actor, Pierre Edwards (Pierre), speaks his truth in a witty stand-up micro-special on race titled "HALF/TRUTHS." The thought-provoking film was released last month with the soft launch of Comedy Hype's new streaming platform, HypePlusTV.com.

"HALF/TRUTHS" provides the audience with a glimpse of a very real and raw Pierre as he jokes about challenges he experienced when, at 11-years-old, his German mother and African American father shipped him away from the comforts of his nonracial life in Germany, to live with his Black family in race-obsessed Washington, D.C.

"I came from Germany. I had long flowing hair. I looked like Prince on his first album - wasn't a good look in the hood," Pierre tells the audience. "My cousin would get his hair cut, I went to get mine 'did.' It was a difference. I couldn't go to a barbershop, none of my pictures was on the wall. I had to bring in a Right On Magazine with Janet Jackson from Different Strokes, I want this look."

P.s," alongside Bill Bellamy in "How to be a Player," and he wrote, directed and starred in the urban classic, "For Da Love of Money."
