Learnmore Jonasi, the comedian formerly known as Long John the Comedian is set to have one of his career dreams realised. The comedian will be performing at the world famous Apollo Comedy Club this coming April.
The comedy night titled Africa Now will be hosted by Alfred Kainga and Learnmore Jonasi will share the stage with Karmen Naidoo and Quadir Yussuf. Jonasi is already regarded as one of Zimbabwe’s most awarded comedians and a performance at the Apollo Comedy Club is an amazing way to cap off his career so far.
The home of the Apollo Comedy Club is the Apollo Theater in the Harlem neighborhood of Upper Manhattan in New York City. It is a music hall and noted venue for African-American performers, and is the home of Showtime at the Apollo, a nationally syndicated television variety show that showcased new talent, from 1987 to 2008, encompassing 1,093 episodes; the show was rebooted in 2018.
The Apollo Comedy Club celebrates the theater’s rich comedic roots. Presented in partnership with the legendary Bob Sumner (producer of Def Comedy Jam, creator of Laff Mobb on Aspire), the Apollo Comedy Club features the best up-and-coming talent in comedy today. The comedy shows precedes the Theater’s weekend music series, Apollo Music Café, extending the Theater’s late-night offerings.
