The Sunday Night Funnies’ (SNF) third annual Black History Month show is set for Sunday, Feb. 16.
Eight comedians will be participating in this SNF special standup comedy performance. Comics include Ricarlo Winston, comedy show producer along the Muskegon lakeshore; Brianna Blackburn, local favorite and regular of several LaughFest shows; JT Motley and Darius Walker, past SNF Kingpin of Comedy competition finalists; Mike Logan, 2019 SNF Kingpin of Comedy winner; up-and-coming comics, Emeka Nriagu and Mikeyy Chandler; and Turbulence Tyme with her first ever SNF appearance.
“The Sunday Night Funnies has always been a diverse show,” says Brian B., MC and Founder of the SNF. “When putting together the lineup each week, I try and have a good mix of comedians – be it race, gender or age-range.
“I wanted to celebrate the contribution Black comedians have brought to the show through the years, and what better time to do that than Black History Month.”
But wait – there’s more!
Upcoming SNF performances include a March Women’s History Month performance featuring a lineup of all women comedians on Sunday, March 2. The following Sunday, March 9, is SNF’s special LaughFest show with some of their most popular comedians from 2024.
The month of May will feature an Older American Month celebration performance with a lineup of comics ages 50+ on May 4, and the start of SNF’s seventh annual Kingpin of Comedy competition on May 11. The Kingpin of Comedy competition will run weekly through Oct. 26.
