Annual GBPAS Comedy Show to deliver laughs in support of Grand Bahama's performing youth
If you missed previous shows, you've likely heard all about them. This annual favourite was first held at Jokers Wild night spot, and last year at the Treasure Bay Casino. In support of community spirit, the GBPAS is working with a new venue this year, that being the Grand Bahama Yacht Club. The show will run two nights, March 11th and 12th with shows at 8pm.
Get your tickets now, as the show sells out each year! All proceeds support the youth of Grand Bahama who are in the arts .
"I'm really excited to be coming back to The Bahamas, and as former student of the arts it is an honor to be able to give my support to young artists," said Kyle Grooms who is best known for his impersonations of president Barack Obama and for his guest appearances on VH-1, NBC's Last Comic Standing and Chappelle's Show, and appearances in T-Mobile, Sears, Career Builders and Holiday Inn Express national TV ad campaigns.
"I feel very blessed to have been asked to take part in this great event. Laughter, sunshine and coming together for a great cause. Also the fact that I will be away from -38 weather makes it even more appealing!" said Big Daddy Tazz who is also known as "Bi-Polar Buddha", and is equal parts comedian and motivational speaker who likes to enlighten, educate and inspire.
When asked about coming to perform her first time in the Bahamas for free, Gina Brillon said enthusiastically, "Being a comedian is amazing but being able to do it for charity makes it even better."

(VIDEO) Ray Ellin Live at NYC Comedy Club Bahamas
Freeport, Grand Bahama Island – The 2nd Annual NYC Comedy Club event put on by The Grand Bahama Performing Arts Society commenced Friday March 12th 2010 at The Treasure Bay Casino to a standing room only crowd.
Midway through the show comedian Ray Ellin came on stage to do his routine, it was at this point during the evening that uncontrollable bouts of spontaneous laughter erupted far beyond even what Ray anticipated as he proceeded to concoct an impromptu routine that featured the duo of twin brothers who are, amongst other things, the principals behind the proposed Yellowfin Tuna Net Fishing venture on Grand Bahama Island (The Bahamas Pelagic Aquaculture Tuna Fishing Program).
Unbeknownst to Ray, he haphazardly connected with the audience with irony and humor that resounded across the length and breadth of this island and beyond. In his routine, Ray probed the twin brothers with questions like: What kind of work do you do? Are you some kind of mobsters? On and on he went amidst uncontrollable laughter so unfathomable to him that he finally bellowed: WILL SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON?
Admittedly, this video has been one of the most requested of our almost 300 on-line video productions library; we are pleased to finally have it edited and ready for your entertainment. Enjoy!

About Ray:
Ray Ellin has been honoured as one of the “Ten Standout Stand-Ups Worth Watching” by Back Stage magazine
"I had a blast doing the shows in Grand Bahama, and best of all it was for a great cause. The crowds were fun and smart and enthusiastic. And of course I had a pretty interesting experience during Friday night's show (laughs). Everyone was friendly and our hotel was terrific. I loved swimming with the dolphins and para-sailing; and the food was even better than I thought it would be. I can't wait to go back to Freeport for more shows and fun!" said Ellin.
Persons wishing to keep up with Ellin can go to his website or watch the critically acclaimed comedy variety show 'LateNet with Ray Ellin' on DailyComedy.com.
