Imagine a comedy show where history gets deliciously twisted with every sip, where audience participation isn’t just welcome — it’s inevitable! Now experience it for real as Drunk Black History serves up the city’s rich heritage with side-splitting laughter! This isn’t your average history lesson — it’s a raucous celebration where Newark’s bold pioneers and fearless activists come alive through comedy.

This is one of two shows happening on the same night. Headlining the first show is Hoodo Hersi, the Toronto comedy powerhouse who’s lit up Just For Laughs and opened for icons like Hasan Minhaj and Maria Bamford. Joining her is viral sensation Christina Brown, whose authentic voice and razor-sharp wit have earned her over 25 million likes on TikTok.

Dress as your favorite Newark historical figure, raise a glass with specially crafted Newark-inspired cocktails and be prepared for interactive moments that’ll have you laughing until your sides hurt.

Produced at the innovative EQUAL SPACE, a premium sharespace created with multicultural business owners in mind, this event perfectly blends culture, comedy and community in the heart of Newark.

Whether you’re a history buff, comedy lover or just looking for a night where learning meets laughing, Drunk Black History delivers an experience that’s intimate, inclusive and wildly entertaining.

NOTE: There are two separate shows happening this night at 7:30 and 9:30PM. Each show features two different comedians.
