Brooklyn native D. Lemon's (Damien Lemon) comedy career began from his seat in the back of public school classrooms over 20 years ago and continued at his college alma mater, Clark Atlanta University, where he fine-tuned his ability to make people laugh until they cough and choke . Over the last two years, he has rapidly built a name for himself on the New York City comedy circuit and beyond.
On stage, his material comes from everywhere and nowhere, from fornicating politicians driving up sex prices to the "Stop BCC'N!" campaign, and is delivered with a flair that can best be described as an all-inclusive bug-out session. Catch him as both performer and co-producer on Wednesdays at the Laugh Lounge in "Comedy On The Hump," a weekly showcase of New York's freshest young comedians.

Visions lead me to believe that the essential reason for us doubting our dreams is the assumption that we create in our mind that what we dream of or desire in this life does not exist... or we think to ourselves that its just something that is virtually impossible to reach... this is an illusion we tend to create in our minds and also the illusion we tend to believe... so often we feel down...Hopeless so i say this... instead of sitting there in doubt...confused drowning in a pool of negative thoughts... i feel we need to go out there do some research and dig for the truth... find out for ourselves if what we dream of or desire in life is really impossible or not... cause i tell u that by the time we figure out that what we want isn't impossible and at arms reach... most likely we'll be living in that dream we once believed could never be reality... -Nide A.k.a Timbaland Threat
Attention: D. Lemon, the police are looking for you. You are wanted for murder! Alibi's is dead and you killed it! You took comedy to another level... Just tear drops and snot bubbles. Great job
