FINAL DAY AT AKUMAL COMEDY FESTIVAL WITH JIMMY SHUBERT AND ALYSIA WOOD

The final event of the Akumal Comedy Festival took place at La Cancha, which is the basketball court in the middle of town. The local restaurants and chef services like Daveed set up tables and sold food during the event.
The local school children from the  Otoch Paal School sang a song. The festival proceeds benefit the school.
Headliners  Gus Lynch, Jimmy Shubert and Alysia Wood all performed a knock out final performance.

Note: the link above is to some of the very funny material delivered by Jimmy Shubert.
One particularly hilarious bit was about a chicken omelet.
The challenge with this assignment was capturing the performers gestures
while at times becoming completely distracted by the jokes.

Note: I was particularly happy with this drawing b/c I was finally able to capture her gesture
during her bit about smoking, which was, BTW  absolutely hilarious.
