There’s nothing new about this Jersey
native who’s become a staple in the
center of LA’s comedy scene. Some
may know him as Na’im Lynn, but
everyone refers to him as…The Next Big
Thing.
Growing up in a small town named
Hillside, two miles east of Newark
Liberty Airport, Na’im used Martin
Lawrence and Eddie Murphy for
Muses. It wasn't long before Na'im
developed a knack for out-of-thisworld comedy. “When you follow
a lot of comedy you're gonna
develop a sense of humor,” he
said. “You're gonna find yourself
trying to be funny. And I'm
intelligent too, so if you can
put the two together you'll
have a successful comedian
and that's where I am today.”
Success couldn’t be sweeter.
Best known as the opening
act for his friend, famed
comedian Kevin Hart, Na'im
travels the world over as part
of Hart's 3-man comedy crew,
The Plastic Cup Boyz. The nonstop tour has produced three
genius comedic movies –
“Seriously Funny,” “Laugh at
my Pain,” “Let Me Explain”
(Na'im appears in the latter
two films) and has prepped
the world for the official release
of the #PCB.
After getting his start by winning a
showcase with NBC, the former
aspiring physical therapist ditched
that career and a job at US Airways
to pursue his passion. That stepping
stone created a ripple effect that
has had him riding a wave of success
ever since with spots on the LeBron
James-produced “Survivor’s Remorse”
on the Starz network, BET’s “Real
Husbands of Hollywood,” “The Arsenio
Hall Show” and his very own Comedy
Central special “The Half Hour: Na’im
Lynn” live from Boston. He recently
headlined the Plastic Cup Boyz special,
which premiered and is currently airing
on Comedy Central. Na’im and the rest
of the #PCB are touring on Hart’s latest
installment, the “What Now?” tour.
