Comedy Central to Premiere WALTER LATHAM'S COMEDY AFTER DARK, 2/24

The man behind the "Original Kings of Comedy" takes us to Miami for some hot and heavy stand-up from a group of racy comics when the world premiere of WALTER LATHAM'S COMEDY AFTER DARK debuts on Comedy Central on Sunday, February 24 at 12:30 a.m. ET/PT.

Filmed in an intimate VIP setting at a popular Miami night club, celebrities Jenna Jameson, Rosa Acosta, Carolina Catalino, and hip hop diva Trina host an evening of comedy from comedians Kelly Walker, Steve Brown, Damon Williams, Howie Bell, Darius Bradford and headliner Michael Blackson. World class DJ Irie provides the soundtrack for this sexy comedy experience.

Leading up to the on-air premiere, the Comedy Central Stand-Up Web site will feature preview clips from the special.
