FOR the past four years, LoveFest has become synonymous with Valentine’s Day, and the top event for couples looking to share laughter with their love.

Tomorrow, at the Wyndham’s Rainforest Theatre, Bahamians will get to see rising star comedian Brandon T Jackson.

Having starred in box office blockbusters such as Tropic Thunder with stars such as Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr and Tom Cruise, Brandon is no stranger to the limelight. He has also appeared in both the Percy Jackson and Big Mama’s House franchises.

Often dubbed as both Chris Tucker and Martin Lawrence’s hand-picked prot�g�, Brandon has also starred in urban hits such as Lottery Ticket and Roll Bounce.

Comedy has always been Brandon’s first calling as he began performing stand-up at the age of 15. He has appeared in BET’s ComicView, Wild N Out and Showtime at the Apollo. Brandon, whose talent lends itself to both comedy and music, has also toured with Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne and T-Pain.

Later this month, Brandon will begin filming Beverly Hills Cop where he plays Aaron Foley, the son of Axel Foley, a character made famous by Eddie Murphy, who will serve as executive producer of the project.

First, however, this son of two pastors will bring the laughter and love to this year’s LoveFest.

Also scheduled to appear are fellow urban comedians Redbone, Lawrence Killabrew and Karlous Miller.

Nassau’s very own Naughty, who has more than 15 years experience as a stand-up comedian will serve as host for the event.

LoveFest 2013 tickets are on sale at Island Cellular (Rosetta Street), Fine Threads (Thompson Boulevard and Village Road) and John’s Shoes.

LaughFest organisers WizeGuy Entertainment and The Beam Agency, encourage patrons to arrive on time as the doors will open at 7.30pm for a 9pm sharp start.
