It's a classic case of "when you do people right, it alwways comes back around triple fold"...

In recent months the Uptown Comedy Corner in Atlanta, GA has been going though slight difficulties with the lack support from the city, but the crowd came out in numbers this past weekend to see Queen of Comedy Mo'Nique headline a show.

But Mo wasn't just there on the strength, this is one of the spots that gave Mo'Nique her first gig, which at the time Mo'Nique admits only payed $150.00; well we know her bank account is well over that now, but it's great to know that throughout all of her fortune and fame, she is never to big to come and help those who paved the way for her.

"We gotta support our black comedy clubs y'all, or how will we know who the next Mo'Nique or Chris Tucker is?" explained Mo'Nique

There definitely wasn't a problem last weekend, but Mo'Nique is so true! Without getting out there and supporting the comedy clubs, especially our own, we will never know who the next kings and queens of comedy will be. Get out there and support our comedy clubs, and you can start right here in the A at Uptown Comedy Corner 800 Marietta St. Atlanta GA 30318

CONGRATS to the 1st Flavor of Love/Charm School winner Saaphyri!!! Some may remember Saaphyri from the Tyra Banks Show (on the Race War season premiere), but everybody remembers her as the "GHETTO-FAB" Flavor of Love girl who got kicked off before she could even get a nickname...yup, the one with the classic prayer to GOD not to beat a b*tch's a$$. Well obviously Mo'Nique (& Atlanta's own Shay) saw something in Saaphyri which led to her being crowned the 1st ever Charm and getting that $50,000 check. I'm sure it was the heart-felt, yet still GHETTO-FABULOUS speech about using the money to buy a stable home that sealed the deal; either way, BIG UPS to Saaphyri! Don't spend all of that money at Crenshaw's beauty supply store!!!
