A Vincentian high school alumni
group in Brooklyn will next month
host an inaugural comedy show in
which a “Battle of the Sexes” will be
an integral part.
Janet Wyllie, general secretary of
the Marriaqua Secondary School / St.
Joseph’s Convent Marriaqua (MSS/
SJCM) Alumni Association, told Caribbean
Life over the weekend that the
“Battle of the Sexes” will be highly
featured in the group’s maiden “Night
of Comedy and Laughter,” on Feb. 28,
at the Friends of Crown Heights
Educational Center, 671 Prospect Pl.,
Brooklyn.
“This comedy show is a show with
a difference,” Wyllie said. “It is going
to be interactive, as we have two segments
where the audience is involved.
One is the ‘Battle of the Sexes’ comedy
show, where the answers to the
questions do not have to make sense
but (are) funny.”
She said that, in the other segment,
“If you Think You Funny -
Apollo Style,” “members of the audience
will be invited on stage to give a
joke and, if you are not funny within
a minute or two, they will be pulled
off the stage.”
Wyllie said the three funniest audience
performers will be given undisclosed
prices.
She said “Night of Comedy and
Laughter” will also feature popular
Vincentian comedians Earl “Ole
George” Daniel and Maurice Horne.

Canada and has been doing stand-

Bessor.
He says he’s got nothing to lose. “I’ve
been releasing music, recording professionally
since 2005 and I’m yet to make
it to mainstream radio. What do I have
to lose at this point?” he rationalized.
From Guayaguayare, Trinidad, one of
the most persistent, hardworking vocalists
in the underground Soca music
industry, is bursting at the seams, urging
programme directors at radio stations
across Trinidad and Tobago to
