NBA All Star Comedy Weekend Wrap Up

The NBA All Star Weekend competition did not prove to be as full of excitement as in years past, especially the Slam Dunk competition. However, the excitement and hype for the one of the most anticipated shows of the weekend fell on the shoulders of The Katt Williams Experience which never took place.

Due to the enormous amounts of complaints that we have received from the fans in Dallas, we would have to say that comedian Katt Williams’ no show for The Katt Williams experience STILL has folks talking.

But not to be lost in all of the drama of Katt Williams, Codeblack Entertainment still produced a duo comedy show that kicked off the weekend despite the turbulent start with the inclement weather. The Shaq’s Comedy All Stars shows both were sold out, as they featured comedians Mo’Nique, Mike Epps, DeRay Davis, Kevin Hart, Bruce Bruce, George Wilborn, Paul Mooney, Corey Holcomb, Michael Blackson, Red Grant just to name a few.

There was another comedy show at the Majestic Theater that featured Bill Bellamy, Chris Spencer, Aries, Spears, Jay Lamont, and Derek Ellis. Once again, due to those same weather conditions Jay Lamont and Aries SPears didnt make it. There were two scheduled shows, and because of the no-shows, the comics who did show up gave the audience extra time on stage.

Stay tuned for a full detailed report of the weekend, including exclusive pictures, behind-the scenes videos and more!

*Katt Williams NO SHOW Update From NBA All Star Weekend*

We just discovered from a very reliable source the reason why Katt Williams was unable to make it to The Katt Williams Experience Show at NBA All Star Weekend.

Our source stated that Katt Williams arranged for a small private plane to travel from Los Angeles to Dallas but because of the snow storm that hit Dallas yesterday (weather reports state that the city of Dallas was hit with almost 8 inches of snow), the private plane turned around. When the plane landed, Williams attempted to drive to Dallas but was unable to make the long journey in time for the show.

The saddest news about this is that the news reports of the reason of Katt not attending the show because of the travel are not circulating among the attendees of the potential show, and many fans at NBA weekend are upset.

Kevin Hart & Tony Rock To Do Benefit Comedy Show For Haiti!

We just discovered that comedian Kevin Hart and Tony Rock are two comics who are about to step up to the plate for a cause- and this one cause is for Haiti.

After the devastation of the Earthquake that hit Haiti last month, there have been several known organizations that have had benefits to raise some financial support for Haiti, and comedy is one of the avenues that have also contributed.

With tons of benefits across the country for Haiti, there haven't been too many comedians of the stature of Hart or Rock who stepped up to donate their time to do a benefit show; until now.

We hear that Hart and Rock are going to perform in New York at the Theatre at Westbury on Long Island, NY on Feb. 20th. As we stated, there will be donations as one dollar of every ticket sold will go to relief efforts in Haiti.

We hear that the money raised will go to Edyeo, which is an organization founded by Unik Ernest, Haitian nightlife impresario. The group recently built a school for 200 children. That was before the earthquake completely destroyed the building. So, they’re looking to rebuild as quickly as possible.

The show will also feature fan favorite, comedian Wil Sylvince with a possibility of other comics who may be added. The show will be co-produced by Jean Alerte and comedy writer/producer Jeffrey Gurian, (http://www.jeffreygurian.com) who also writes the national column Comedy Matters for Punchline Magazine. If you’re in the area, we highly suggest you get to this great show while supporting a great cause! Or call 877-598-8694 for more info.
