New York City (Billboard Publicity Wire) March 29, 2007 -- Tomorrow, Codeblack, America’s premiere source for urban entertainment, will release the highly anticipated comedy showcase “Jamie Foxx Presents America’s Funniest Comics Vol. 1” DVD.

Filmed in 2006 at Atlanta’s prestigious annual Urban International Comedy Arts Festival, this comedic work will be delivered to audiences nationally by Oscar winning, Golden Globe and Grammy nominated performer Jamie Foxx and Cedric the Entertainer.

The first of four in a comedy series presented by Jamie Foxx, this DVD not only features the flair of two of today’s most established comedic talents, but has enabled them to exercise their credibility to bestow recognition upon the emerging comedic talent of tomorrow, bringing four of the hottest up and coming stand-up comedians into the spotlight. It features NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” finalist Roz G, funny man De Ray Davis from MTV’s “Wild N’ Out with Nick Cannon”, veteran Chicago comedian Damon Williams and hilarious Atlanta comedian Nard. Subsequent volumes are slated for release in June, October, and December of 2007.
