This is the second live DVD comedy taping of British comedian, Gina Yashere, who broke onto the American comedy scene with her appearances on “Last Comic Standing” in 2007, where she made it to the final 10. She is also known in the US for her regular,hilarious appearances as “Madame Yashere, The Surly Psychic” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
