I Do It For My Mama
God’s Comedic Messenger
Hilarious , bold , fresh , and groundbreaking are just a few of
the adjectives used to describe Comedian Akintunde. But first
and foremost, he is a servant, husband, and father of 5 who
loves GOD, loves his wife ,Eunissa, loves his children, and
loves to make people laugh. But after 20 years as a
comedian, Akintunde feels as though he is just getting
started. Why, you may ask, would someone with scores of
national television and radio appearances feel as though they
are just getting started? Because now, the
veteran stand up is no longer just on a career
path, he is on assignment from GOD.
Akintunde laid down his own personal career

aspirations,
and
accepted
GOD's
assignment to Entertain the Body Of
Christ!
Since
accepting
GOD's
assignment, Akintunde has done just that,
and consequently, has been nothing but
blessed. In 2003, he was named joke/
monologue writer for the syndicated
television series "Its Showtime at the Apollo".

In 2004, he wrote
the monologues
for
Comedian
Monique for the
annual
"BET
Awards"
ceremony. That
same
year,
Akintunde
recorded his first
live
comedy
album, "Brutally
Honest Live at
Right Direction",
and began a
national
tour
under the same
title. Get out of
his way because
he is on a
mission
from
God
and
he
refuses to fail.

“Hilarious”, “Original”, “Honest” & “Stylish” Are just
a few words to describe the comedic styles of
Comedian Nikita B. She started her career after
losing her mother to her battle of breast cancer in
June of 2010. She says “I told my mom when she got
better; I was going to hit a stage and perform and
dedicate the performance to her.” Sadly, her mom
passed away before this could happen. While
grieving the loss of her
mom Nikita decided she
would go onstage and tell
her story. Only 3 short
Months after her start in
comedy
she
was
connected with one of the
writers from the Monique
show, comedian Tone-X and
a well-known local radio
personality Fly Ty of My 92.7.
These connections led to the
performances that Nikita is
currently known for. It was
through Fly Ty that Nikita
was able to open for the
Radio 1 family comedy tour
at Oven’s Auditorium.
Since then the full time wife,
mother and registered nurse
has had endless request to
perform all over the East
Coast. Nikita has a story to tell
and is not ashamed to speak
about things that others often
can relate to, but are too
ashamed to talk about.
