Black History Month kicks off at the Pasadena Senior Center on Saturday, February 7, with an afternoon of laughter and community spirit featuring three veteran comedians. The comedy event runs from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm and promises a fun-filled celebration to start the month.
Titled Etta Mae Mumphries’ Black History Month Comedy Kick-off, the event showcases “clean,” positive comedy from seasoned performers Etta Mae Mumphries (aka Karen Bankhead), Rev. Monty B. Sharpton (aka Lamont Bonman), and Nick Arnette. Each comedian brings a unique perspective on human behavior and community, with a special nod to Eaton Fire survivors.
Etta Mae Mumphries, known as everyone’s favorite “church mother” and the Black Forrest Gump, is celebrated for delivering good, clean comedy that leaves audiences inspired, energized, and “tickled pink.” Rev. Monty B. Sharpton blends music, magic, and clean comedy into his performances, while seasoned comedian Nick Arnette rounds out the lineup with feel-good humor.
