About My Favorite Lyrics with Devon Walker Live!
At Littlefield in Brooklyn, *My Favorite Lyrics with Devon Walker Live!* brings Devon Walker together with guest Roy Wood Jr. in a dance-forward format that treats quoted words as material to be moved through, not just recited. Walker’s biography sits in the background: after a 2012 football injury at Tulane, he started the Devon Walker Foundation in 2016 to address gaps in spinal cord injury care and equipment. The show’s New York context is local rather than historic; its significance is in how comedy and community advocacy share the same stage. One clear takeaway is its refusal to separate performance from lived stakes.
