His name is Schewitz Whichard… that’s ‘sh-eh-wits’ with a Whichard like Richard. Schewitz was born 1967 (ageless) in Washington, DC. He grew up in Alexandria, VA.
Schewitz has been performing as a stand-up comedian nearly two decades, having started in 1996 at the Comedy Connection in Langley Park, MD. He’s won the Fat Doctors Comedy Competition & Magic 102.3 Comedy Competitions. He was also a finalist for the Def Comedy Jam in 1997 @ at the Comedy Connection in Laurel, MD.
His self-described style is very “mature/blue”… But he’s also one of DC’s most interactive, engaging, and physical comedians, so he’s a fan-favorite and regular performer with LYGO DC.
For those that remember REDD FOXX, you’ll notice he’s one of the primary comedic inspirations for Schewitz.
