Journeyman comics Leighton Smith and Kathy Grant will share top billing at the first food inclusive stand-up comedy series.

Lady Rennae's Mek Wi Laugh Tuesdays will take place at Puls8 on Trafalgar Road, next Tuesday March 26.

Both Smith and Grant have extensive experience, not just as comedians, but also on the Jamaican stage. Grant, who has been featured to great response as 'Tan Di Deh' the country helper on the Ity and Fancy Cat Show, has also appeared with many of Jamaica's top-flight actors.

sought-after talents

In addition to leaving many Jamaicans in stitches at several comedy venues, Smith has toured US cities with Ragashanti and other personalities and is one of the more sought-after talents on the scene.

The weekly series is the brainchild of Rennae 'Lady Rennae' Garel, who presents the series on the heels of creating FAME-FM's first radio comedy show last year. The show, also titled 'Lady Rennae's Mek Wi Laugh', and co-hosted by Pretty Boy Floyd and Donald 'Iceman' Anderson, earned rave reviews and attracted huge listenership.

The show will see an open-mic segment as well as upcoming comedians alongside the established stars. There will be giveaways, and - in a first of its kind presentation - the night is food-inclusive, all for the low price of $800.

Showtime is 7 p.m. Tickets are available at Puls8 - 38 Trafalgar Road and at the RJR Communications Group, 32 Lyndhurst Road with ticket delivery service available (824-5628).

Lady Rennae's Mek Wi Laugh Tuesdays is sponsored by: The STAR, Food Delite, Lime, Island Dairies, Cal's Spring Water, National Bakery, Signature Sweetz and Fame 95 fm.
