Darryl "D'Militant" Littleton (? - 2021) was a comedian and author. He wrote about Black comedians.
The documentary 2009 documentary film Why We Laugh: Black Comedians on Black Comedy is based on Littleton's bookBlack Comedians on Black Comedy: How African-Americans Taught Us to Laugh.[1] Publisher's Weekly described his book on the history of African-American comedy in the United States as "smart, quick and full of funny one-offs", but "falling just short of its potential."[2]
