TV PRESENTER and comedian Richard Blackwood heads a strong bill of stand-up at The Broadway Theatre, Barking, on Friday.
He is joined by Kerry Godliman, John Ryan and Annette Fagon.
Richard's hard work paid off after he was picked up by MTV as a presenter.
Channel 5 was the first TV station to realise his true potential and gave him his own comedy show - he was only the second British black comedian to achieve this.
He is now racking up listeners on London's Choice FM.
Actress and stand-up comedian Kerry oozes personality and knows how to hold an audience's attention with her witty material.
