JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, UNITED STATES, May 28, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- What happens when you combine a multi-hyphenate Black woman from Mississippi who is also a Jack of all trades? “Black of All Trades,” a one-woman show by three-time Writers Guild Awards nominee – Comedian Rita Brent.

“I moved to New York from Mississippi in 2019. It was easily the most challenging and exhilarating period of my life. I was performing 10-20 times a week, hitting stages in every borough, learning how to use the subway and getting lost along the way! I performed at Caroline’s on Broadway, and the pandemic literally hit the next day! I went back to New York for a brief stint after quarantining, but eventually moved back to the south. When I thought about a place to debut my one-woman show, “Black of All Trades,” New York instantly came to mind! I have some unfinished business to handle, and it’s happening— Thursday, June 20, at Caveat NYC,” said Comedian Rita Brent.

Rita’s one-woman show takes place during the historic Black Women in Comedy Laff Fest, where she is also a headliner!

Come see Rita weave in and out of traditional standup comedy, storytelling, and perform her original music (“Can You Rock Me Like a Pothole" and “The B6 Anthem”) in a dazzling showcase of all her talents!

Also performing LIVE at “Black of All Trades”– New York- based Comedians Moonie, JJ Mattise, and Donna Lewis.
