Monroe Martin: Finding the Funny in Foster Care

Georgette Todd, – Chronicle of Social Change – Comedian Monroe Martin doesn’t shy away from any subject, which includes his childhood spent in foster care. Instead of dwelling on his past, however, Martin uses it, like everything else in his life, as material for his work. To date, Martin has headlined his own show in the famed Caroline’s Comedy Club in New York City, has appeared on DirecTV’s “The Artie Lange Show” and wrote for the MTV2 series, “Charlamagne and Friends.”
