“Livestreaming on CEEK is a game-changing way to share comedy with the world,” Hughley said. “At a time when people are stuck inside and trying to cope with the unknown, laughter is needed now more than ever. I’m excited to work with CEEK VR and share ‘The Laugh Experience’ with everyone. Virtual comedy clubs are the future of entertainment.”
Hughley, an original ‘King of Comedy,’ political commentator and syndicated radio show host, will headline the evening of punchy and piquant humor from an all-star comedy line-up featuring “Real Husbands of Hollywood” and BET Awards head writer Chris Spencer and comedians Bo Dacious and Ryan Davis.
CEEK VR’s award-winning, digital streaming platform boasts virtual concerts from the likes of music megastars Katy Perry, Quavo Huncho, Snoop Dogg and Lady Gaga, along with celebrity athletes and influencers for its immersive technology and streamlined content monetization solution. The platform features a diverse library of experiences including exclusive 360VR videos and live concerts.
“We are honored to have these world class icons sharing exclusive entertainment experiences on the CEEK platform, especially during this time of social distancing and beyond,” CEEK VR CEO and Founder Mary Spio said. “CEEK’s mission of bringing artists closer to their fans virtually is more important now than ever. We’re excited to play our part in helping people connect through great entertainment experiences while staying safe at home.”
