“Ha-Hanniversaire”: Cantave K Comedy Club celebrates its first anniversary in a packed Le Villate.
On Sunday, July 21, El Villate welcomed an enthusiastic crowd that came to celebrate the first anniversary of the Cantave K Comedy Club. In an electric atmosphere, the show entitled “Ha-Hanniversaire” brought together comedy lovers for a memorable evening, full of laughter and reflections.
Comedians Berny, Florentz, Abhélard, Boucher, Godard, and others captivated the audience with their performances. By addressing various themes such as the behavior of Haitian parents towards their children, criticism of physical forms, and the attitudes of Internet users in WhatsApp groups, the artists knew how to use humor to convey powerful messages.
This first anniversary is being celebrated in a difficult security context for Haiti, particularly in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince. Despite the challenges, spectators took advantage of this opportunity to laugh together, with family and friends, rediscovering the smile that the country is struggling to find again.
The evening was also marked by an auction, where three jerseys were sold for between 10,000 and 20,000 gourdes, as a sign of solidarity and support for the Cantave K Comedy Club. This initiative demonstrates the public’s commitment to supporting art and culture in a difficult context.
The Cantave K Comedy Club was born after a training workshop for young talents in 2022, organized during a comedy tour launched by Cantave K. At each stop of the tour, free workshops in humorous writing were offered to young aspiring comedians. These workshops took place at BANJ on May 11, at the Côte Plage college (Carrefour) on May 16, at the Alliance Française de Jérémie on June 7, and in Saint-Marc on June 14, 2022. A year later, in June 2023, the Cantave K Comedy Club was officially created.
The “Ha-Hanniversaire” evening was a great success, demonstrating the talent and perseverance of Haitian comedians, and offering a breath of fresh air to the inhabitants of Port-au-Prince in search of moments of joy and lightness. Cantave K Comedy Club continues to grow and play a crucial role in the Haitian comedy scene, promising many more memorable evenings to come.
