In his stand-up special, Heavy Lightweight, which streams on Amazon Prime Video, he presents a range of topics from slavery, cell phones, and the #MeToo movement, to millennials, Kanye West and Taco Bell. As he says, "he likes to mix it up and hopes that audiences will join him for a laugh and a think, or two." 

Last year, Alonzo released his fifth comedy CD titled Man Overboard, and currently hosts the podcast Who's Paying Attention? where he gives his unique take on what's going on in the world.
