I’m excited for this show!!! Come through everyone
Join us on Friday, May 8 at 7pm for In the Black 2.0, live at Harold Shenkman Hall at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans
In the Black 2.0 is a high-energy stand-up showcase featuring a dynamic lineup of comedians sharing sharp, funny, and meaningful performances rooted in culture, identity, and lived experience
Hosted by Rose-Ingrid Benjamin, the show includes Samson Imanirambonas, The Velvet Duke, Xavior Kayvon Gough, Janelle Niles, and Daphney Joseph. With music from DJ Karyen!
Come early to check out the vendor market before the show — it runs from 5:30pm to 7pm. The market will also reopen for one hour after the show, so you’ll have another chance to browse and support local vendors.
A portion of the proceeds will go to charities selected by the performers. See you there.
