FANS of the Nothing to Laugh About (NTLA) show are again in for a treat with a production that promises to be better than all the rest, with organisers boasting that they know exactly what triggers the ‘throw down’ laughter due to their years of experience on the entertainment stage.
The National Cultural Centre will come alive on Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30, from 8pm, on both nights, with KFC’s Nothing to Laugh About 15.

This iconic event, featuring a stellar cast of characters, promises to be a spectacular showcase of talent, humour, and cultural vibrancy; perfect for the entire family.
“We do a lot of satirical comedy, and we deal with current affairs and trending things that made the news. But we are mixing that with humour; stories that we create, content that is just hilarious in everyday life,” NTLA Director Lyndon ‘Jumbie’ Jones shared with Pepperpot Magazine this week.

“We are coming with real creative comedy, and we are trying to better the things we normally do. We are more aware now than ever what triggers the laughter; what creates the throw-down laughter. And we are very experienced now; we know the dos and don’ts.”
This year’s show will feature an unforgettable lineup of characters, including: Jumbie, Leza ‘Radika’ Singh from Parika Backdam, Michael ‘Credit’ Ignatius, Mark ‘Chine Man’ ;Lo Li’ Kazim, ‘Mus Colleck It,’ ‘Officer Bribe,’ ‘Bladam,’ ‘Yankee,’ etc.

The team spends hours upon hours preparing and rehearsing for the show and often does not fail to wow their crowds. Their ideas are mostly derived from current news events, where the writers take serious issues and add a funny twist to them.
The show boasts an exceptional cast of actors, each bringing their unique flair to the stage. Others include Clemencio Goddette, Chris Gopaul, Gerard Gilkes, Panda, Shantel McClean, Sonia Yarde, Mark Luke Edwards, and Abigail Brower.

Producer Maria Benschop, who does most of her work behind the scenes, often goes the extra mile to promote her artistes whom she had once described as “awesome, versatile and sublimely talented.”
“These talented performers are set to deliver a memorable experience that will leave audiences in stitches,” NTLA said. Tickets prices are $2,000, $3,000 and $4,000, and ticket locations include Fresh Supplies Seafood Depot (Sheriff St.), Silvies Variety Store, Payless Variety (G/Town), and NCC.

The generous sponsors whose support has been instrumental in bringing this annual production to life, ensuring that it continues to delight and entertain audiences, are KFC, Peppys, Silvies Industrial Solutions, Fresh Supplies Seafood Depot, Payless Variety Store, Muneshwers Travel Service, and Gemini Cocktails.
The producers would usually incur lots of expenses, but they often express that they continue to hang on because of their love for comedy and what they do.
“Mark your calendars for June 29 and 30 at 8 pm and join us at the National Cultural Center for a night of laughter, joy, and unforgettable performances. KFC’s Nothing to Laugh About 15 is not just a show – it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!” NTLA said.
