  I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY STARS OUT THERE THAT ARE AFRAID TO SHOW WHO THEY REALLY ARE. WHO IS AFRAID TO BE HAITIAN?

This  is a Haitian comedian, most of us did not know about:

York’s top comedians from groundbreaking US TV stand up show Def Comedy Jam SINCK and WIL team up with UK comedian turned Teletubbie JOHN SIMMIT for a comedy gig that’s sure to be raucous at Jongleurs, Granby Street Leicester on Sunday 6 June.


Motormouth Wil is a high octane performer whose US TV credits also include Showtime at The Apollo, and has been co-host for a decade of New York’s most popular weekly black comedy night at Greenwich Village’s Boston Comedy Club. Of Haitian extract, Wil’s comedy features on his compatriots The Fugees multi million selling rap album The Score and Wyclef’s follow up solo album The Carnival. A regular headliner in the UK, he’s appeared on Channel 4’s Club Class.

In contrast, Sinck’s comedy is of the ‘slow burn’ variety. The self confessed ‘old school’ humourist has also appeared on US TV’s Comic View. Since his first trip to the UK 18 months ago, Sinck has quickly become a regular headliner in the UK’s top comedy clubs Jongleurs.

UK humour’s represented by sardonic John Simmit, best known for playing Dipsy in BBC TV’s international hit children’s show Teletubbies, a stark contrast to his stand up performances. The ‘Cuban-Jamaican Brummie’s’ range was best summed up by The Evening Standard’s ‘streetwise but silly’ description.

A surprise guest completes the line up, part of Upfront Comedy’s regular series of nationwide gigs, putting the live spotlight on the thrusting humour of black Britain and America.

Many Haitian profesionals left for French speaking Africa during that period of Papa Doc's terror.   Many of their children were born in Africa.  They are still Haitians however.
