What college did Chico Bean go to?
Reports reveal he attended Winston-Salem State University, North Carolina. There, he began to beef up his talent as a comedian.
Career
Chico never intentionally chose a career in stand-up comedy, even though he had always been comedic since his high school days. It, therefore, felt like a natural thing to conduct the file of events at his college and fraternity pageant and other ceremonies while training to become a news anchor.
He became not so motivated about his goal to become a news anchor after he decided to get a job after graduation, and he was offered $6.25 per hour as an intern. He felt the pay was abysmal and resolved to hustle for himself while helping others.
Chico started doing stand-up comedy in Greensboro, North Carolina, sometime in 2007. During this period, he successfully opened for Chris Wiles' comedy show.
Bean did not rest on his laurels and soon teamed up with comedians Darren Brand and B-Daht. Together, they developed a comedy group and commenced what is now known as the Freestyle Funny Comedy Show (FFCS).
The show interacts with its audience funnily and is an entertaining blend of on-the-spot comedy and authentic stand-up. As it grew, comedians like DeMar "Osama Bin Drankin" Rankin Sr also signed on to the group. The three comedians began to perform stand-up comedy in different states, colleges, universities and comedy clubs.
During one of their performances, Nick Cannon, a more popular and experienced comedian, noticed Bean. So he gave him the pass to appear on Fresh Faces of Comedy in New York, which became a defining moment in his career.

Chico Bean's family

Chico Bean's daughter is Pierce Chanel. He fondly calls the nine year old (2022) Wanda in memory of his late mother. He is quick to shower encomium on her, as noticeable on an Instagram post at the 2022 father's day celebration. In his post, the comedian said:
This is the First Fathers Day Wanda didn't wake me up out my sleep saying 'Happy Fathers Day Baby, what you get me?' But I'm so thankful that instead, I was awakened by this Face, SHE IS ME in girl form, yesterday she told me I was dressed like The 'Xbox Logo' I love nothing more on this planet than I do this little girl, HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE REAL ONES!
