Hip-hop and stand-up comedy has been a successful combination with hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons leading the way with the groundbreaking HBO series, Def Comedy Jam, followed by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boys of Comedy . Now, Grammy award-winning rapper-actor 50 Cent enters the comedy game with a new website, Thisis50Comedy.com that promises to deliver cutting-edge humor of the funniest comedians in the country.
This is 50 Comedy, a pay-per-view web-streamed show for $2.99 hosted by comedian Young Jack Thriller (Thisis50.com’s “So Disrespectful”), will be taped tonight in front of a live audience at the Times Square Arts Center in New York City. The show will run every last Thursday of the month starting April 28.
