Apollo Theater To Induct 3 Comedians Into Walk Of Fame
The Apollo Theater in Harlem will induct comics Richard Pryor, Moms Mabley and Redd Foxx into its walk of fame.
It says the legendary comedians will be inducted during a special ceremony on Oct. 1.
The theater says it’s the first time that it will be inducting non-musical artists into the Apollo Walk of Fame. All three had longstanding relationships with the Apollo.
The historic theater also is launching a new comedy series on the same night. The Apollo Comedy Club will feature emerging comics.
