The Ramblers Tales Show, returns to Atlanta for the 2011 annual show. The show in its usual form brings together the best and brightest Caribbean comedians with variations in style and comedic approaches. The show constantly aspires to create a Caribbean flavor of comedic entertainment that has a broad appeal with strong storytelling.
One attendee was overheard describing the show as Sunshine in a bottle, and we like that description. We are back to explore the success of the past shows and venture to raise its entertainment value. The show brings to the stage the comedic best of the US, UK and the Caribbean. I attended last year’s show and it far exceeded my expectations (click here for last year’s review Ramblers Tales 2010)
This year’s show will take place on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at The Porter Sanford III Performing Arts & Community Center, 3181 Rainbow Drive, Decatur, 30034. A pre Show Mixer starts at 6.45 PM and show time is at 8 PM. For more ticket information, please visit the show’s website at www.theramblerstales.com

He has made appearances on numerous Television shows such as The Late Late Show on CBS, Last Comic Standing on NBC and The Bob & Tom show. He was a semi finalist at the Boston Comedy festival and voted Atlantas 2006 best Comedian by Creative Loafing. He draws his audience in with a storytelling style that relies on his relationship follies and current affairs. Drew has a warm and inviting personality that draws you into an instant comfortable space. Drew at times pulls from his Jamaican heritage to strengthen his comedic delivery.

He has appeared in The Ramblers Tales Show for the past two years. He can be seen as a key character in the movie Blinded which was released a few years back. He does not exclude using himself as the target in delivering his comic lines. He uses a school-boyish charm to lure you in then, out comes the wit and before you know it; your belly hurts from laughter.
