Event Details
Top-notch comedians and crooners take the stage to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Michael Blackson has been called one of the most original stand-up comics in the country, and his performances leave audiences laughing in tears. Michael Blackson, aka, ‘The African King of Comedy’, has been entertaining audiences all across the country and around the globe for more than a decade.
Blackson’s comedic appeal grew from his involvement with BET’s ComicView series, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at Harlem, and Live in Hollywood. However, it was in a Los Angeles comedy club where Blackson got his big break. Blackson was performing at the Comedy Store where actor/director Ice Cube was in attendance to see comedian Mike Epps perform. But after experiencing Blackson’s performance, Ice Cube invited the young comic for a reading…and the rest is smash hit history! Blackson’s outstanding and unforgettable performance in the smash hit comedy Next Friday drew praise and a fan following like no other.
After his scene stealing performance in Next Friday, fans wanted more, and in 2005, Blackson would not disappoint. He released his top-selling sketch comedy CD entitled, Modasucka, Welcome to America. Along with special guest appearances on some of the hottest music videos, Blackson stole the stage on Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO and starred in a commercial for the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central.
Along with his film and television endeavors, Blackson continues to entertain his fans as the headliner for live shows at comedy clubs, universities and special events, bringing his one-of-a kind, must-see stand-up performance to audiences all across the country and around the world.
Sammie’s humor is analytical, combining wordplay, clever misdirection, and riffs on ethnicity. He’s been featured on America’s Got Talent, Conan, and Last Comic Standing, and hosts the Netflix show 100 Humans.
R&B Group Next blends smooth harmonies with upbeat, club-friendly production. Their signature song and biggest hit is “Too Close, which reached #1 on both the Billboard Hot100 and the R&B Hip-Hop chart. Other top hits include “Butta Love,” “Wifey” “I Still Love You,” “Beauty Queen,” and more.
Melanie Comarcho catapulted to stardom via Def Comedy Jam and won “Favorite Stand-Up Female” at the Soul Train Comedy Awards. She was the first stand-up comic featured by Chris Rock on his late-night talk show, and is known for her punchy, observational humor from a women’s perspective on life, parenting, relationships and social commentary.
