The Metro: Detroit’s T. Barb returns from Los Angeles for WDET comedy showcase
A native Detroiter, T. Barb will highlight the fourth and final “What’s So Funny About Detroit” comedy night of the summer.
Comedian T-Barb performing at WDET's 'What's so Funny About Detroit?' comedy event in July 2025.
Comedian T. Barb made a name for herself in Detroit. She’s become well known for her “Only in Detroit” social media reels, where she highlights unique scenes from around the Detroit streets.
Now she’s making her way in Los Angeles, where her numerous gigs have included appearances on BET.
T. Barb says L.A. is different from Detroit in many ways — from the way people act to the food they eat. “The dogs even are different,” says T. Barb, “and the reason I say that is because people in California have a dog for companionship. Here, we want our dog to bite you.”
T. Barb is returning to Detroit this week to take part in WDET’s last “What’s So Funny About Detroit” comedy showcase of the summer. The show takes place on Thursday, Aug. 27 at The Old Miami on Cass Avenue.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. All patrons must be 21+ to enter the venue. Tickets are available online at WDET.org/events.
