Dante Carter is headliner for the show, which features high quality, clean laughs from nationally touring, regional and local comedians. Also performing are local comics Chris Womack, Jay Zehr and Dawn Davis Womack, along with DC-based pastor-turned comedian PT Bratton.
During his more than 20 years in comedy, Carter has appeared on HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam,” and toured the country with BET’s “Comic View,” performing in comedy clubs, concert halls, and prisons. As part of the “Stand Up for America” comedy tour, Carter entertained U.S. troops and allies in the Middle East. A Cleveland native, Carter engages audiences worldwide with the comedic edge he uses to define his life experiences.
