Sunday's 'Come Mek Wi Laaf' concert at the Jamaica Pegasus in New Kingston, proved to be an event that delivered as promised - rib-tickling, excitement and laughter.

The event, emceed by Jerry D, featured some of Jamaica's most experienced comedians, and it was clear at the outset that every 'funny bone' would be touched.

He introduced the first act, Lemon, as a comedian with great potential.

Crime and sex were hot topics as he gave advice on how to deal with criminals and women.

He believes those who stutter should be given free cellphone minutes on the weekend for obvious reasons.

Television status

Winston 'Bello' Bell wanted to show he still had the stuff to crack up an audience. He said that he could still be a 'man of the cloth' with just enough yards to get loose.

He commented that he learned that his television status did not give immunity with law enforcers, and by the end of his set, convinced everyone "seh nobody nuh funnier than God."

The comedy then took a break but the entertainment continued with the Get Mad Dancers, winners of the World Reggae Dance Competition.

However, it was One Third that brought the ladies to hysteria with favourites such as The Reason, Homely Girl, Africa and the Welcome To Jamrock medley.

Wig collection

The only female on the show, Elva, shared the merits of having a large collection of wigs. In her brash and sassy approach, the comedienne's set was appealing and refreshing.

Ity and Fancy Cat are known for making fun of the living conditions of the poor when compared with 'uptowners'.

For example, asking for one slice bread as opposed to a quarter of the bread, a whole chicken rather than chicken parts.

Christopher 'Johnny' Daley, a child star from the Lime Tree Lane series, explained the difference between child stars in the United States and in Jamaica.

At the end of the night, it was money well spent. Frowns turned upside down. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Best Care Foundation, administrators for the Best Care Children's Home.
