On Friday January 29, 主播大秀 Local Radio and 主播大秀 Radio 1Xtra teamed up to present a celebration of African-Caribbean comedy. The event, held at the Midland Arts Centre in Birmingham, followed on from the first event of its kind hosting a line-up of only African Caribbean comedians from across the English Regions, which was held in London in October 2014.
The evening’s performance in Birmingham, featuring established artists and emerging talent, was preceded by a panel discussion with some of the key comedians talking about their experience of getting into comedy in all forms. Neila Butt, Editor of Specialist Programmes for 主播大秀 English Regions said ” This workshop was just one example of the outreach work that 主播大秀 Radio 1Xtra do so well in bringing the public and talent together. It’s something only the 主播大秀 can do.”
Neila went on to say that “The ‘Comedy Club’ allowed us to build awareness of targeted African and Caribbean programming available on 主播大秀 Local Radio stations across the country in conjunction with a national station like 主播大秀 Radio 1Xtra.”
Below are some pictures of the event.
