Stand-up comic Bryan McCree shares Flint stories, family humor, and the Michigan grit behind a life on stage.
Is it possible to make Flint laugh?
If anyone can, it’s Bryan McCree — nationally touring comedian, actor, writer, and proud Flintstone. Known for his sharp insight into American culture and his uncanny ability to make us laugh at ourselves, Bryan brings a humor that is both fearless and deeply rooted in real life.
In this interview, Bryan shares personal stories from his Flint upbringing, his family’s remarkable legacy, and clips from his act that poke fun at race, poverty, stereotypes, and the everyday absurdities of growing up in a blue-collar Michigan town. His timing, physical comedy, and stage presence are unmatched — a skillset built partly on the school bus, where he delivered daily comedy routines to his classmates.
Bryan McCree has appeared on Comedy Central, MADtv, NBC, and Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen.
He has shared the stage with Sinbad, George Wallace, Robert Schimmel, and even The Isley Brothers.
Bryan comes from a legendary Flint family.
He is the nephew of Floyd J. McCree, the historic Flint Mayor and Michigan civil rights icon; his father was a jazz virtuoso; and his great-aunt was a Broadway legend. With roots like these, it’s no wonder he became one of Michigan’s most beloved comedic performers.
McCree cut his teeth at the historic McCree Theater, where he honed his stagecraft and learned to turn everyday struggles into laugh-out-loud gold. In this episode, he reflects on life in Flint, blue-collar culture, race, music, family, and why he never gave up on his hometown.
