Def Comedy Jam, the brainchild of hip-hop entrepreneur Russell Simmons, began as a TV show on America’s HBO network in 1991, before taking to the road.
Simmons said: ‘Def Comedy Jam has introduced some of the greatest urban comics to the American audience. I’m proud to discover talented, new comedians who are ready to take the next step in their careers. The comedians we’re bringing to the UK are my favorite. I promise you, they will blow the house down!’
