UK COMEDY EVENT: THE LOL SHOW – ABOUT 2 BLOW

LOL Show presents UK Tour ”About 2 Blow”. A live stand up and improv show featuring 7 of the Britain’s most talked about young urban comics such as Babatunde, Axel, Mikey Carpenter, Dane Baptiste, Aurie Styla, Mo The Comedian and Travis Jay. “URBAN” comics? is this now the acceptable term used when describing black comics? When I hear black British comics referring to themselves as being “URBAN comedians” I just shake my head. Pure foolishness. But anyway I digress… The line up is being touted []

She sounds like a stranger who is just discovering Jamaica and it’s music scene for the first time. Episode 2 just makes me cringe for a number of reasons. The world does not need to see ridiculous groupies hanging around rehearsal studios and a young []
