Author: Kwame Shorter

Writer. Jokesmith. Reporter. Eater of confectionery. Kwame Shorter is a writer-journalist-comedian-photographer who has contributed to The Onion, Huffington Post, Chitown Daily News, Den of Geek and Lumino Magazine over the past few years of his career. The subjects covered, like his interests, are wide and ranging but include: band write-ups, book, movie, toy and comics reviews and event and show write-ups. I’m a California transplant who’s lived in the Midwest for about 15 years and who has still not lost his accent. Talk to me about community activism, eating alarming amounts of jelly-type candies, conscious hip-hop, geeking out on the computer and 80s cartoons. I’m also an avid mystery novel reader and lover of all bar sports.
