The Black History of Comedy

[Zhana Books]

Greetings, all.  I attended this event recently.  Brother T. showcased comedy from the U.S.A. including Richard Pryor and In Living Color, plus Black British comedy including The Real McCoy, Jamaican comedy, Nigerian comedy and more.  

It was great.  I hope you can come.  

Best wishes, 

Zhana 

The Black History of Comedy: Comedians often use history as part of their material. In this interactive session we piece together a visual tapestry of the best historical comedy from great known and unknown comics from the 1960's to now  We will also place their comical observations on a historical timeline of international struggle for African equality and show how comedy can be educational. Be prepared to laugh your head off and learn about world history at the same time. Presented by  www.blackhistorywalks.co.uk
