Lindo & Smart presents Laugh Out Live, a comedy showcase at IndigO2. The event will take place on 18 June from 8:00pm until 10:00pm. The show comprises a whole host of well-known UK and US comedy acts including Shadrack and the Mandem, Kevin J, Paul Tonkinson, Eddi Kadi and Chappelle’s show star Donnell Rawlings. The night will be hosted by comedian Kane Brown.

Recently premiered on Comedy Central, Donnell Rawlings is an overnight success a decade in the making. You've seen him feature in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2; and on US Comedy Central's award winning and critically celebrated Chappelle's Show as "Ashy Larry" and numerous other characters.

Donnell's peers have noticed his talent and potential. Neal Brennan, co-executive producer and co-head writer of Chappelle's Show: "Whenever we put Donnell in the game he's going to hit a home run." Jamie Foxx says "That guy is a beast!" Wayne Brady commented that Donnell provides "amazing work on the show" and Dave Chappelle feels that "Donnell brings so much to the table...this very funny guy makes it look natural and easy."

Now a bona fide veteran of the comedy stage, Paul Tonkinson emerged as a stand up back in 1992 when he won the Time Out New Act of The Year award. Five years later he went one better to win the Time Out Stand Up Comic of The Year award. The accolades didn't stop there as in 2002 Paul won the Jongleurs Best Comedy Performer award - he is a stalwart of the circuit and regularly takes his shows to the Edinburgh Festival. He started his TV career on BBC's The Sunday Show and went on to be a presenter on Channel 4's The Big Breakfast.

Renowned for his quick wit, clean comedy and unpredictable shows, Eddie Kadi has received much public acclaim in recent years, including the BECA Award for Best Comedy Newcomer in 2006. As just one of his many well deserved accolades in a journey which includes sold out concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo, Hackney Empire and the IndigO2 (twice in 2009), a 4 disc DVD collection, numerous television and film projects, this shows that Eddie is fast becoming a powerful force in British comedy. Current, relevant, thought provoking yet refreshingly, controversy free, Eddie Kadi has proven himself to be the consummate entertainer.

After less than 2 years in stand-up comedy Kevin J has been labelled the cheeky, cocky, London-centric New Kid on the Block!! Kevin J has been part of some of the biggest UK comedy productions throughout 2009 such as Kojo's Comedy Funhouse which aired on MTV Base where Kevin J was said to be the star of the show! Most recently Kevin J was nominated as Best Newcomer at The Black Tie Comedy Awards. "Rising Star and Innovative Performer" - Flavour Magazine.

Innovative comedy duo, commonly known as, Shadrack and the Mandem, have taken the UK by storm providing regular laughs for those comedy lovers with their finger on the pulse. Their parodying of the much maligned ‘Chav’ culture which some feel blight our cities have been warmly accepted by the masses as is evident by their YouTube clips which have in excess of three million views. Having featured on BBC’s No Hats No Trainers for two series, Shadrack et al were signed up by Dirtee Stank Record Label which is commonly known for housing label-mate and multi-award winning Dizzee Rascal.
