The history of Caribbean Comedy here in Washington DC comes out of the tradition of making some good ole talk we are so accustomed to do within the context of the oral tradition which for some folk has been a tradition left too long to function without a concept. Twenty years ago the first comedy show occurred in the form which Paul Keens Douglas called the Talk Tent. This was patterned after the calypso tent which featured various orators expressing different styles of talk with the same function that mirrored the community and informed community folk of their folk history making them laugh at the same time. Fun and laughter is the flip side of determination and hard work in the Caribbean personality.
Twenty years have passed by with scores of island representative comedians visiting the circuit depositing a varied outpouring of humor and comical stories in addressing varied audiences from most of the Caribbean island nations. Many comedians/comediennes have graced the stage at Cramton Auditorium, Howard University in Washington DC and have performed diverse interperetations of Caribbean and American lifestyles.
