Comedian Granville Bazemore

Granville E. Bazemore a native Philadelphian, is one of four born to Dwight D. Bazemore and Glynis J. Shepherd. Educated in the Philadelphia school system, Granville received his high school diploma from Franklin Learning Center in 2002. After graduating high school Granville did the unthinkable and joined the United States, Air Force, on May 12, 2003, where he became and obtained the skills as a Security Forces (Military Police) Officer.

Granville served six years in the United States Air Force, while doing so he had the opportunity to live in England for three of those years at RAF Mildenhall Air Force Base from which he did a tour in Iraq, and various other TDY’s. Granville finished his last three years at Dover Air Force Base Delaware where he was medically discharged in June 2009

​Overcoming some of the stereotypes that are often associated with young black males gaining employment and staying out of trouble, Granville was able to stay focused and after the military obtained his Barber Managers License from the state of Pennsylvania. He also gained employment with the South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) in 2011 as a Bus Operator. But Granville was not satisfied with that career, and after doing research on other promising careers that would allow him to build a legacy and great life for his family, he decided to resign from SEPTA and attend Northampton Community College (NCC) in May 2014 to pursue the career of a Funeral Director/Embalmer. Granville graduated NCC in May 2016 with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science and Funeral Service Education, and after passing the Funeral Directors National Board Exam and PA State Board Exam on the first try, is now a PA Licensed Funeral Director. He is very excited and looking forward to opening his own Funeral Home and serve families and communities with the love, respect, and dignity that they deserve.

Granville always loved to watch comedy but he never thought he would be doing comedy. He was always told he can command a crowd and was funny when he expressed himself to his peers, so one day he listened to the feedback and signed up for Philadelphia Comedian Turae Gordon’s comedy class and the rest was history.

Granville‘s comedy style is a very direct, raunchy, hardcore style but guaranteed to have you falling out of your seat!
