LOCAL entertainer Odessa Primus is all set to take the stage by storm this weekend when she will host her first ever comedy show in Bartica, her hometown.

Primus has collaborated with the Bartica Regatta Committee to host the “Talk De Tingz” comedy show as part of the calendar of events for the regatta. It is the first time that a show of this sort is being put on as part of the regatta events, and Odessa couldn’t be happier!

As such, she started her planning since last January, and has expended herself so far in the planning and preparation so as to ensure that she puts on a great show.

The show is billed for the Bartica Community Centre Ground this Sunday, beginning at 8pm, and some of the biggest names in local entertainment are set to perform. Along with Primus, these include

Michael ‘Credit’ Ignatius, Mark Luke-Edwards, Mark ‘Chiney Man’ Kazim, and Kunchi ‘Miss Pepper’ Reynolds.

Along with standup comedy, a number of skits have been prepared for the show, which Primus said she wants to be “different and interesting.”

Primus told The Buzz on Thursday that Bartica hardly sees any stage performances of this kind because it would be expensive to promote them. However, with this opportunity, she wants to ensure that the people of Bartica are treated to the best show ever.

“I want people there to get a feel of what we have in Georgetown; that level of performance,” she said.
Ansa Mc Al Trading has been especially helpful in getting the show off the ground.

Primus said the show is not a political one, and that the topics being discussed in the skits and comedy will be across-the-board. “People don’t like too much of one thing, so the jokes will not be limited to one topic,” she said.

By means of the skits and comedy, she is hoping to be able to take her fellow Barticians back in time about different things that have happened in the town.
