Moderated by acclaimed comedian Michelle Collins.”

The Fab Five Live! will be in Philadelphia on February 19th at the Miller Theater.

Karamo Brown, a member of the The Fab Five, and host of his own show, ‘Karamo’ joined PHL17 to preview the The Fab Five Live!.

“We decide to go on tour because people are always like, I wish I had that Fab Five experience and, you know, unfortunately, when we cast the show, only like 8 to 10 people get cast and then so many other people are like, I wish that I had just a moment to like, talk to you to to to be in your presence so we can get some advice. And so we were like, let’s do this on the road, let’s go have some fun, let’s, let’s have a good cry together, let’s have a good talk together. It’s all about like, how do we lift each other up in this time where sometimes we don’t feel that great?” said Karamo.

When asked about what people can expect during the show, Karamo said, “One of the things is that we really want to make sure that people have an opportunity to learn more about us, because a lot of times people don’t know the inside of our, our relationship. Yeah, we’re going to get raw and real about everything, about who we are, but we’re also going to have that moment of connection to say like, what are you feeling? What are you going through? This is how we’re working through it…”

“The whole reason I do this career because, you know, I worked in social services, I worked as a psychotherapist for many years. It’s only to help people. And as much as I love the glitz and glamor of it, at the end of the day when I go home, my only mindset is about the people I’m helping. That is, that’s true for my talk show to for this, you know, anyone who comes to my talk show, they’ll tell you that I reach back out to them. I do follow ups, because I think it’s more personal than a producer calling, just knowing that, like, hey, you came and you really shared yourself like it meant a lot to me. I’ll give you a quick call and just make sure you’re doing okay.”, Karamo said.
