Comedian Finesse Mitchell is trying to be a good person, but the Almighty ain’t having it. “I just gave my life to Jesus Christ, I did,” he says. “But then he gave it right back. Said something about a background check. I’m like, ‘Everybody got a background check. I can’t get a credit card ย or Christ?’ That’s tough, man.” JC may not want Mitchell around, but the folks at Saturday Night Live do. The young comic from Atlanta, who brings his stand-up act to the Laff Stop this week, has made his mark on the show with his high-energy “I’ll do anything” antics, and he’s become the perfect sidekick to co-star Keenan Thompson. Meet the suave Mitchell at 8:30 p.m. today and Thursday, July 13.
July 12-13, 8:30 p.m.; July 14-15, 8 & 10:30 p.m.
