In her stand-up and as a correspondent on The Daily Show, the Miami-born, Atlanta-bred comic Dulcé Sloan is known for wide-ranging commentary on race, sex, and gender. Though she’s a relative newcomer who started touring the national circuit just a few years ago, she has the air of a seasoned professional, with an unwavering command of audiences and an uncanny knack for voices. In her first televised set, a 2016 appearance on Conan O’Brien’s talk show, she lampooned gay men who grab her boobs, white women who touch her hair, and straight men who hit on her while suggesting she lose weight. This led to her getting hired by The Daily Show last year, where she has reported on cultural appropriation at New York Fashion Week and pay inequality for African-American women. Her Sunday-night show at Motorco is not to be missed, though you should come prepared to be roasted. —Katie Jane Fernelius
