The Bahamas Weekly News Team was on hand with cameras rolling and snapping when The
Grand Bahama Performing Arts Society hosted its third annual comedy show March 11th and 12th 2011. This video contains highlights from their trip to Grand Bahama Island including their limo arrival to the event and a couple comedic antics from each comedian.
A rich and varied mix of comedy was provided by the three visiting headliners: Gina Brillon...,
Kyle Grooms, and Big Daddy Tazz. MCing the event was local funnyman
Trevor Russell along with American comedian Ricardo Aleman who each year
assists in lining up the high caliber entertainment. "I had a great
time. This was our best year, and it will keep getting better! said
Aleman.
Gina Brillon, the first female comedian to appear in
Grand Bahama at these series of events, gave a slice of life in stories
from her home in New York as well as touching on her Latino heritage. "I
had a blast! The show was amazing and so were the people! I was treated
like royalty and who doesn't like that!" said Brillon.
Returning
to Grand Bahama was Kyle Grooms of New Jersey who once again pleased
the crowd with his Barack Obama impersonations and references to being a
'non-threatening' black man due to his need to wear glasses. "I love
performing in The Bahamas! The hospitality, the food, and the energy
from the crowd was top notch. I felt like Barack Obama," said Grooms.
