THE HISTORY
OF LAFF JAM The finals for the comedy competition took place annually at the beautiful Crest Theater in downtown Sacramento, and fast became Sacramento's premiere comedy event. The competition introduced Sacramento to awesome comedic talents such as Mark Curry, J. Anthony Brown, Faizon Love, Wiley Roberts, Clinton Jackson, Reynaldo Rey, Alex Thomas, Laura Hayes, Arnez J., Guy Torry, Pierre, Ricky Harris, Luenell, Hope Flood, and Sheryl Underwood just to name a few Laff Jam gave comedians from Northern California an opportunity to perform with some of the top talent in the business, and was a huge showcase for their comic abilities. After 1994, Laff Jam disappeared from the local landscape for a few years, lost in a sea of Black comedy events that appeared in its wake, however the competition re-emerged in 2000 as part of The Observer Media Group's Black Expo, and is again becoming one of Sacramento's premiere comedy events. |
