...Oliver Samuel's Flight 007!
I remember, as a child, watching the Lime Tree Lane series, which was a Jamaica comedy series aired on JBC (Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation), a Television in the late 1980s to 1990s.
I would crack up with great laughter when characters such as Miss Upton, Johnny, Ma’as Gussy and deaf ears Mary ( My favorite characters) open their mouths to speak! Loads of Fun!
Now, Lime Tree Lane is not the first and far from being the funniest comedy to come out of Jamaica, after all, we are/were home to legend playwright Patrick Brown and Jamaican comedians such as:

I personally prefer comedies from the above greats, where the humor was a little more sophisticated, less vulgar and less boisterous, however, we also enjoy great comedies from the newer Jamaican comedians such as;
are far from boring and have young and old doubling over in laughter!
With newer comedies such as:
... Jamaicans will have more than a barrel full of laughter to last a life time.
But how can I mention Jamaican comedies, and not mention the comedies of my own childhood, albeit comedies that I was not allowed to watch because they involved “big people bizniz (business)!”?
These include:
And I could go on and on!
Jamaica comedy (the brand) have reached far and wide, with our actors and comedians now leaving our island paradise with regularity to preform in other countries, such as the US, Canada and Europe, no joke (pun intended) :-)
Now go ahead and find yourself a nice Jamaican comedy to watch and laugh your troubles away, even if its just for a while!
