Who could’ve guessed the dynamic
hosting of Eric Thomas and
Lazaro Viciedo would spark a revolution in comedy and entertainment!
The Live Spot Presents, a vehicle for underground poets, comics and
one-acts to show their skills, was exactly that and more. After a slow
start in turn-out, the night quickly became live with laughter and
clapping hands, as
people of all
backgrounds
and ethnicities piled in to see Azrael and The Mizfits hit us off
with hip hop cuts from their upcoming album and Tanya Cameron,
Peter Brena, Chaunta Macklin and Alexandra Guiterrez
rocked excerpts from the hit satire, “Haters”. The New York Comedy Club
became poetic when Kenneth, an old time follower of the Gang
blessed
the
mic, but that was only the beginning because soon to follow was Black
Pearl with a love poem displaying her need and emotions for
her black man! Lady Adeana also hit us off with her own rendition of a poem
written by Jomo Kellman from the forthcoming, Printz of Poets 2, she was
also feeling kinda romantic, as she dropped jaws when she told us of her
need for some sexual healing! Da
vid Waugh and Great Comedians of
Color, Bill Cosby, Moms Mabley and Freddie Prinze (Eric Thomas, Black
Pearl and Laz), had the party going with comedy, while stand-out
performances from host Lazaro Viciedo and Josh of the Peanut
Gallery kept us guessing with original
