After establishing himself as a writer and comedian in Hollywood, @dewayneperkins decided to stop waiting for Hollywood’s permission and fund his own web series, I Swear We’re Friends.
In this deep dive, we discuss Dewayne’s vision for portraying Black queer people as fully realized individuals, with friendships, complicated lives, humor, love, and stories that deserve the same investment and production quality as any other television project. He also takes us behind the process of developing his web series, I Swear We’re Friends, and why he decided to stop waiting for Hollywood’s permission and fund the project himself.
Comment “DEEP” for the full episode.

And a happy birthday to me! Every birthday I look back on the year I had and fantasize about the year ahead I hope to have. My goal last year was to solidify myself as “Dewayne: The Creator.” I no longer wanted to be viewed as someone’s whose only worth was helping others achieve their dreams. My dreams are just as worthy. So I focused on investing in myself, my ideas, and remembering that I didn’t have to wait for permission to make art. And as I reflect I can say I’m pretty fucking proud of what I was able to accomplish. One thing about me, oh imma doing shit ass bitch. So for this birthday the only gift I want is for people to simply enjoy the art I’ve made. Please watch @iswearwerefriends if you haven’t and if you have, watch it again. And if you’re in New York please come to my one man show on Monday, November 9th at 7:30pm at @bellhouseny in Brooklyn, NY. I really love it and think you might to!
All in all, I really love my life. I’m surrounded by love and able to do the things I love. That feels like a win to me! Cant wait to see what the next year of my life brings 🤎 cheers to me! 🥂

MAILBAG! This week on @intimacycoordinatorshow we hear from a gal who can’t stop herself from testing her new boo. @dewayneperkins weighs in with some tough… love (?), but you’ll have to tune in to the full episode to hear the counterpoint from resident empathy expert @allisonraskin. I have a feeling you’ll have some thoughts of your own on this one!!

Today’s Paige’s Prose features an interview with multi-hyphenate extraordinaire @dewayneperkins ! I first became a fan of Dewayne’s through Twitter (rip) and had the pleasure of meeting him recently through comedy. He has a multifaceted career and I had to know more. You know Dewayne as an actor from The Studio, One of Them Days, and The Upshaws; as a writer on The Amber Ruffin Show, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Blackening (which he also starred in); and as a comedian on Comedy Central, Netflix, and on stages around the country. We have a fun, detailed convo about improv & stand-up, pivoting, navigating the industry as a multi-hyphenate, feeding your artist soul, and all about his newest project @iswearwerefriends ! Thank you Dewayne for being a lovely guest and dropping thoughtful gems. And because we couldn’t do this in person, thank you for being down to get creative with the photoshoot 😂✨. Read the full interview on my Substack 🫶🏽 #comedy #multihyphenate #livecomedy
