Who will take over when the tall philipian goes to crack jokes in beyond the pearly gates?
Have you ever thought of that?
Well I am inviting you to think about it now; your brain is not busy! Who will be the next person to step into Mac Fingall’s shoes when he is gone?
Not only is there a dearth of comedians in Barbados but there is a dearth of people aspiring to be comedians, which is sad.
Nobody wants to make people laugh.

Think bout it, who do we have that is funny in Barbados?
(I mean funny ha ha)
There’s Trevor Eastmond accomplished comedian who has been around for a number of years. He is known for his colorful language. Then you have Alf who has been making a name for himself performing in the Crop Over Cavalcades.
Then there’s Mr. Kb Kleen, again another comedian/Mc who is known for operating mainly during Crop Over specifically in Bacchanal Time.
And then There’s Mac Fingall, Mac is considered the maestro of mc/comedians in Barbados. His busy performance schedule not only in Barbados but internationally is testimony to his talent and how much in demand he is.

Then there’s Madd Entertainment who is known for situation comedy skits.After you go past the above mentioned entities that just about it.! Did I miss anybody?

Oh yeah, Jenifer walker is another good comedic talent but she only MC’s every once in a while.
My point is 25 years ago the persons who dominated the comedy scene are the same people who reign now.
And the person who stands head and shoulders above all is Mac.
We are hard pressed to identify a successor to Mac; every one wants to be a freaking singer no one wants to make people laugh.
I am not talking about the political public figures that make people laugh at microphones without intending to I mean real potential comedy talent.
Maybe NCF needs to start having comedy work shops in schools to identify new talent, and have Trevor Mac and KB develop teach and pass on their skills so that our dearth of comedy can be filled.

Hey, speaking of dearth of talent reminds me of my self,

I am a bit of comedian too myself, “There is a dearth of talent in the void of my brain” I want to be known for saying that….

Boyce is out…..
