Tuesday, November 3


Join us as we open on the first Tuesday of November for Nuvo Entertainment’s “Tickle Me Tuesday” Comedy Showcase featuring some of the most hilarious rising star comedians from around the country!
 
The show will be headlined by one of the hottest young comedian/actors in the nation, Damon Williams! Damon’s numerous television appearances include BET’s “Comic View” annually since ’94, including his own one-hour special. He’s been featured on BET LIVE and hosted several episodes of the legendary “Showtime at the Apollo” formerly hosted by TV star Steve Harvey.
 
In 1999, Damon performed for more than 300,000 fans as the opening act for the highly successful Kings of Comedy Tour, establishing him as one of the elite comics in the nation. Damon was chosen to attend the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen in February 2000. In the summer of 2000, Damon headlined the Cedric the Entertainer Comedy Revue.
 
Damon is a crowd favorite on the club and concert circuit and has performed at the Black Comedy Tour, which consists of more than 30 colleges and universities. His material is universal, and there’s something for all ages. His popularity has provided him the opportunity to work with some of the biggest stars in the business, including Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Luther Vandross, Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte, Chris Rock and even Little Richard.
 
The monthly comedy shows he produced for two years at the House of Blues came about after one appearance on the “Jenny Jones Show.” He was contracted to write, perform and produce more than 50 episodes. His starring role in the hit musical comedy tour “Laughin’ on the Outside, Cryin’ on the Inside” generated standing ovations every performance. And finally, Damon maintains his weekly comedy showcase at B’n’J’s in Matteson, IL, and often opens for the hit sketch comedy team “Forgotten City” at Second City. A star on the rise, his motto is “Don’t Stop and Don’t Quit.”
 
Damon will be joined by the talents of Rob Allen, Big Chevy, DJ Haz, and host Earnest “Uncle Pimpin” Moore – seating is limited, so get your tickets today for an evening of top-shelf comedy at its finest! Dress to impress as this special show makes its BLU Jazz+ debut.
