You would think that I would be on here constantly updating everyone about...well...the updates that are happening. I am infact, the worst blogger ever.But here's some quick hits we've been getting about the fest! Check out this radio interview on OUTQ in the Morning with Larry Flick
(cross-posted from BcP) I’ve decided that in addition to the BcP (which has hiccups in its content, my bad) to continue the mission of the site in a different way. I’d like to announce the first ever “Black Comedy Experiment” Festival. Our original idea here was to promote the diversity of Black Comedy. So this festival will continue in that vein. I’ve invited about forty different comedians to perform during the Festival Weekend ( February 28th–March 1st. WRITE THAT DOWN). Veterans like Mike Yard, Dean Edwards, Rick Younger, and Wil Sylvince will be performing alongside up-and-comers like Baron Vaughn, Jordan Carlos, and Erin Jackson. So as an experiment, we’ve decided to take over a venue (Thanks to The Tank) and program three nights of nonstop awesomeness. This will be a great weekend of comedy. The idea is to promote comedians that think outside of the box in which people like to place Black Comedy. A combination of Mainstream and Black Alt Comics doing what they do best: Entertaining. And as some people love to point out to me ( as if I wasn’t aware of this already) there are awesomely talented comedians that have been outside of the box for years. We hope to continue in their footsteps and showcase to everyone that you can’t define Black Comedy with one broad (ahem…DEF JAM) stroke. Welcome to our experiment.
