HOME DELIVERY OF DEF COMEDY JAM’S HEALING THROUGH LAUGHTER MEGA SHOW


In dark times, the world needed a lift. So, Cedric The Entertainer stepped up and answered the call, hosting the iconic Def Comedy Jam programme for a special digital episode, featuring over 30 of the world’s favourite comedians.

Airing live on both Twitch and Facebook, Def Comedy Jam Healing Through Laughter, was enjoyed by over 1 million people, raising over $80,000 that went towards buying supplies for the most vulnerable communities currently impacted by COVID-19.
