From Hardship to Healing Through Humor: The Journey of Comedian BLT

Written By Larry Streeter

Bryant Lee Turner, known on stage as Comedian BLT, is more than just a funny man—he’s a survivor, storyteller, and source of strength for many. In this deeply personal and powerful interview, BLT takes us through the chapters of his life—from childhood memories in Chatham, Chicago to drug addiction, homelessness, recovery, and ultimately, redemption through comedy.

Raised by strong Black women and shaped by the streets, BLT’s story touches on resilience, self-reflection, and the importance of finding your purpose. After multiple stints in treatment and a harrowing moment of despair, a spiritual awakening pushed him to reclaim his life and dedicate it to uplifting others.

Now with over 31 years clean, a vibrant comedy career, a thriving entertainment company, and a heart for community, BLT shares his truth with unapologetic honesty. His story is a lesson in transformation—and a celebration of what’s possible when laughter meets legacy.
