The Black Renaissance Comedy Tour
Comes To Pottsville
Are you ready for the revival?

Webster’s defines renaissance as…
Renaissance:.- A humanistic revival of a classic art, intellectual or artistic achievement and vigor based in Europe during the 14-16 century and considered an expansive time of intellect, thought and discovery.
…and when it comes to comedy The Black Renaissance Comedy Tour is just that, a true comedy revival, going back to the beginning, before artistic thought was diluted or distorted by present day infusions.
These four comedians, L.A. Hardy, Quevaughn Bryant, Kurt Green and Marvin Lee, take you on a non stop laugh fest that touches all aspects of our lives, while bringing America into the true nature and diversity of black culture. With over 60 years of comedy experience performing for audiences all aver the world, these seasoned comedians are not only hilarious, but are also admittedly on a mission. The one thing that they stress is that this tour is not the one dimensional black caricatures that Hollywood and our media has projected onto America, filled with the "N", word, constantly referring to women in derogatory terms while celebrating in the failures of our inner city communities. Instead they choose to take you on comedic journey that everyone can relate to, with subject matter ranging from relationships and dating to taxes and the constitution, the nostalgic look at family life to esoteric observations and song parodies. This show runs through all that is Americana, tickling it with a feather as it passes by.
The increasing success of this event is primarily attributed to one thing; the comedians are being themselves. They just have fun performing, without any apologies or considerations for being contrary to what the public have come to believe "black comedy" is, which in today's comedy climate, is a rare find. The Black Renaissance Comedy Tour is quickly becoming the alternative way for America to define black comedy. More information on this tour can be found at www.brcomedytour.com
