Amberia Allen - Comedic timing on fleek. Allen is a rising comedian, independent of the fact that she's a woman (Black comedienne to be exact). She's an all-around firecracker who has quick wit, beauty and brains and knows how to pull off a prank or two. Not to mention, she hosted BET's hilarious after hours talkback show, The BET Post Show.
