Name that comedian...

Looking for the name of a stand-up comedian...

He's a black man (fairly large stature... I think) and he does a routine that includes a mother telling her son to put on a boxer's helmet because she doesn't want to kill him when she beats him with a metal pipe. He almost does a great continental African accent and has a bit about how white people love filming themselves doing stupid shit (like playing with lions) while Africans will haul tail out of such situations.

Sounds like Patrice O'Neal's style.

Best answer: I think it's Aries Spears - Pandora Comedy radio actually creepily read my mind and brought it up as the second track: His bit on Africa.

Godfrey has a good recurring bit about how his Nigerian dad talks like Mufasa. He's tall, but not fat.
