Columbus, Ohio—September 26, 2018— Girls Nite Out For Laughs: Comedy From A Woman’s Perspective makes its Columbus premiere on Saturday, November 3 at 8 p.m. at the Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC) with legendary actress and entrepreneur Vivica A.

“We are so excited to host Vivica A. Fox and a star-studded comedy lineup in our facility for a great night of comedy by women,” said GCCC General Manager John R. Page. “We hope this will be just the first joint venture with David, LLC in bringing comedy shows to the GCCC for women who love to laugh.”

The comedy showcase spotlights four female comedians serving up non-stop laughs from veteran performers like Cocoa Brown and Melanie Comarcho to up-and-comers Just Nesh and Kelly Kellz.

DJ Lucci, who appears regularly on her father’s radio program, The DL Hughley Radio Show, will also be spinning beats throughout the evening. Divine Martino, local on-air personality from R&B station, Magic 95.5, will kick-off the show with a warm Columbus welcome.

The evening will go beyond “just laughs” with an extra special musical performance with R&B artist Ginuwine whose chart-topping, double platinum selling albums took the 90s music scene by storm with his seductive and sultry sounds with hits like Pony, So Anxious, In Those Jeans, Differences, Stingy, and Same Ol’ G.
