For years, Detroit comedian Boogie couldn’t walk through an airport without someone squinting and asking: “Are you Steph Curry?”
He gets it. There’s a resemblance—the light skin, the sharp features, the clean-cut charisma. Even Mason admitted he once did a double-take when he ran into the NBA star.
“I told Steph Curry, I’m not staring at you,” Mason said, laughing. “But you look like a friend of mine that’s a comedian. And he went, ‘Okay.’ Just like Boogie does—‘Okay.’”
But these days, Boogie isn’t just being mistaken for someone else. He’s carving out a name of his own.
“I’m finally starting to get my own identity,” he said with pride. “People are like, ‘You the Skibluvski man!’ I’m like, yeah—that’s me.”
It’s a full-circle moment for a comic who’s been grinding for over two decades. He’s toured. He’s made TV appearances. And now, with a self-funded Netflix special in hand, he’s showing the world that he’s not anyone’s lookalike—he’s his own brand.
“It’s taken time, but it feels good. Because now when people see me, they don’t say I look like somebody else. They say I look like me.”
Boogie’s humor is high-energy, spontaneous, and deeply rooted in Detroit. He’s got that hometown flavor—sharp, self-aware, and ready to flip any moment into a punchline. Whether he’s dropping a “Skibluvski” or talking real life on the mic, people are paying attention.
And as he moves from comedy clubs to the streaming spotlight, one thing is clear: Boogie is no one’s doppelgänger. He’s Detroit’s original.
