Comedy Dons for Backyard

The Comedy Dons to take all on April 4

Kingston, Jamaica:- The fourth JA/USA Comedy Connection, set for the Backyard Entertainment Complex on Sunday April 4, is all set to bring laughter to Jamaicans like never before, as they present the theme ‘The Comedy Dons’.

Featuring international comedic superstar and BET Comic View regular Shang and Jamaican comedians Ity and Fancy Cat, Johnny Daley, Rohan Gunter, Emperor and Leighton Smith, the event is being organised by funny-show experts Pro-Starz Entertainment.

Its principal, Renae Excell, says that the ‘comedy don’ theme was selected because of the great experience and respect the comedians on the show have, and that “they simply know how to make people laugh.”

“When we chose the line-up, we needed to ensure that the comedians appearing on the stage were real comedians, people who aren’t afraid to really get involved in their act and ensure that each and every patron has a good time.

“So the ‘comedy don’ theme we thought was more than apt for the cadre of comedians we have put together. From Shang to Gunter, these are men who can make people laugh and laugh well. Trust me when I tell you that come Easter Sunday, laughing ago spoil,” Excell said.

The event will be hosted by Jamaican comedy queen Elva Ruddock, who is the lone female on the bill. Excell mentioned that Elva was picked because she’s expected to inject her own brand of humour which, makes for even more laughter. She also said that there would be another surprise international comedian.

Tight-lipped about who the surprise might be, she continued stating that the event would be a well-needed night of relaxation for Jamaicans, and that they will be able to unwind, have a great time, leave satisfied, and have a few jokes and stories to tell friends. Ticket prices to the event will also be at a minimum, with price-tags of $1000 for college students with ID, $1200 pre-sold, and $1500 at-the-gate, with outlets at Watts New, Rory’s Texaco, Derrick Harriot’s Music Shop in Twin Gates Plaza and Pool Plus in Portmore.
