Press Release Body = Maurice Sims of 27 Wayz Entertainment is committed to producing live events for people of all walks of life but with a twist! His unique fusion of comedy, music, art, poetry is unlike any other event you have attended before. He recently introduced a monthly event series called \"The Georgia Comedy & Music Experience to the good folks of Athens\" that was well received. This monthly event series provides a stage for established as well as up and coming artists to share their talent with the people of Georgia and eventually the world. No, this event is not American Idol or even a talent show! \"We approach only the very best talent and allow only special individuals to grace our stage\" states Sims. \"We truly feel that each and every artist performing at our events are tomorrow\'s star that you can see today.\" His line up has opened up for well known heavyweights in the comedy industry such as DL Hughley (The Kings of Comedy), George Wallace, Aries Spears (Mad TV) and Bill Bellamy (Love Jones & How To Be A Player). Mr. Sims of Atlanta, has produce four shows in the last two years. The dream of entertaining people with the art of comedy and music has been a vision of his since the third grade. Sims started writing jokes in 1995 \"but never had the courage to get on stage to share his thoughts with the rest of the world.\" After years of hard work and managing various retail establishments from sneaker power house Foot Locker, urban clothier, Man Alive and now as a member of Uhaul of Northern Georgia field management team, he boldly branched out and started 27 Wayz Entertainment in 2004. \"I didn\'t have a clue of how to produce a show nor did I have a mentor, I had a dream with a vision, developed a game plan, and just did it.\" Sims attended the rookie entrepreneur school of hard knocks during his first show on a Friday night in November of 2004 when in his home town of Selma Alabama. \"The response wasn\'t what I expected, I blindly predicted a huge turn out and attendance in big numbers.\" Sims proclaims \"and I learned three things that night, in any business watch your overhead expenses regardless of how successful you think the turn out will be, the admission price point has to reflect the local economy, and never try to compete with high school football in the south which is tradition.\" The next few shows in Alabama also provided Mr. Sims with other valuable learning opportunities that school couldn\'t provide and set the foundation for the birth of the experience event series. Mr. Sims scouts his talent from the current mecca of entertainment, the city of Atlanta where he currently resides. \"I am out there hitting the pavement with my ears to the streets nightly.\" \"If a establishment has comedy or open microphone night going on, I am right there trying to uncover a hidden jewel.\" This job requires late hours and requires effective networking skills which has provided Sims the opportunity to work with a few artist that are on their way to the top. The first show in Athens last month included a diverse group of comedy and musical talent. The event was hosted by Drew Thomas who is also host of Atlanta\'s longest running comedy room, Phat Comedy located in mid town. The bill included the hilarious Julian Haynes, Byron Bowers, Karlous Miller, Clayton English and Noah Gardenswartz. In addition to great comedy the show also featured the smoothed out sounds of newly signed WU-Music Group/Universal Records recording artist Salakida of Stone Mecca. \"I saw Salakida open for Anthony David and was mesmerized by her voice!\" Sims then purchased her self titled debut album and \"fell in love with her music and had to work with her.\" Sims states that \"all of the above comedians will be making their television debut on Director Robert Townsend (Hollywood Shuffle/The Five Heartbeats) Partners In Crime comedy showcase this fall on TBFN. The Georgia Comedy & Music Experience producer is a firm believer of promoting and providing diverse entertainment for all, in a intimate setting, and for a reasonable price of only $10 that he also shares with the artist and covers all operating expenses to travel to Georgia from around the country. \"I strive to provide more entertainment value for our customers dollar monthly, but we truly need your support to continue to make this dream happen!\" The next show will take place again in Athens on August 25Th at 1080 Baxter St and this show will feature Houston Texas neo-soul vocalist Shaleyah Rare along with comedians Mia Jackson, Sean Larkins, Karlous Miller and Drew Thomas will be hosting. Hopefully we will see you there or a city near you soon? www.myspace.com/27wayzent
