Laughter and lots of it!
Fancy a laugh this weekend? Well two comedians brought down from Jamaica are hoping to give you plenty of those.Ity and Fancy Cat, comedians Ian Mattison Ellis and Alton Hugh Hardware, said the show tomorrow at the Ruth Seaton James Centre for the Performing Arts at CedarBridge Academy would be “unforgettable”.“Bermuda can expect laughter [and] lots of it. That is our chief guarantee. We won't give too much details. We're not singers who can say ‘expect this song or that song’.“Comedians thrive on surprise and we delight in delivering the hilariously unexpected. Between the two of us we are capable of sharing several well known and controversial Jamaican personalities and characters. You'll never know unless you catch the show,” the comedians said.Laugh ‘Till You Belly Buss includes local acts: Jimmy O’Shea, Nadanja Bailey, Gina Davis and Eddie G. There will be a cocktail hour from 7pm until 8pm and the curtain will go up sharply at 8.30pm.The duo has spent the past four months travelling through North America and the Caribbean. They have learned from other comedians who have visited our shores and assured the public they would “try and speak clearly”, but be themselves.Tickets, $50, are available at Kit N Caboodle, Dub City, Jamaican Grill locations on Court Street and Bailey’s Bay and the Western Union in Hamilton. There will also be tickets at the door if there are any left.The comedy show is just one of the fun events happening at the weekend.Secrets lingerie store is putting on a pre-Mother's day fashion show for the ladies, tomorrow at 8.30pm.Chocolate Tease will take place in the Mid-Ocean Ampitheatre at the Fairmont Southampton.
