Event Details

Bonkerz Comedy Productions and The Beacham Entertainment Group will host a stand-up comedy benefit event for two Orlando police officers who were shot and injured in the line of duty. Taking place on Saturday, September 30, 2023, at 7:30 pm, comics Tony Black and Brody Love will take the stage at The Beacham for a night of laughs to raise funds for the two officers shot and injured on Friday, August 4, 2023. Both officers are currently recovering at home. All proceeds from ticket sales and beverages will go directly to the two injured police officers. “We were deeply saddened to learn of the shooting of two police officers who were simply doing their jobs to keep our community safe,” said Joe SanFelippo, owner of Bonkerz Comedy Productions. “We are committed to supporting our local law enforcement, and we believe that a comedy benefit event is a fitting way to show our appreciation for their service and dedication. The event will raise money for the officers' recovery, and it will also serve as an opportunity to bring the community together in support of our heroes.” In addition to being nationally touring comics, Tony Black is an Orange County Corrections Officer and Brody Love is an Eatonville Police Officer.
Originally from Miami, FL, Tony Black was raised by his mother.  Though times were hard the family managed to find happiness in laughter. Tony discovered he was blessed with a gift for making people laugh at an early age while working his first job as a bag boy. After being encouraged by several coworkers he decided to take his act to the stage where he was bitten by the comedy bug at an open mic night. Tony didn’t set out to be a comedian. He pursued a career as a correctional officer, but his first love was always comedy. Later that year, after the passing of his mother, Tony continued to spread laughs amongst family and friends and started rethinking his career choice. He changed course and in 2007, at the urging of family and coworkers Tony entered an open mic contest & won! He is continuing to hone his act by performing at several comedy clubs, colleges & casinos across the nation. Tony has shared the stage with some noticeable names in the comedy industry such as Michael Colyar, Charlie Murphy, Michael Blackson and Freez Luv, just to name a few. By day Brody Love is a real hero, an awarding winning, life saving cop, and by night he’s a national touring, joke slaying, nonstop laughter, action packed and high energy comedian.  He’ll leave you wanting more of his cop stories, relationship struggles, and issues with being overweight.  Brody’s super hilarious and like no other comedian and cop you’ve ever seen!  This COPmedian has worked with CEO Daymond John, featuring in his debut FUBU International commercial.  Brody appeared in comedy clubs, casinos and theaters throughout the US.  He’s opened for many famous names including Michael Blackson, Deray Davis, Lunelle Campbell, Bruce Bruce, Mike Epps, Kountry Wayne and more.  Brody Love is proven funny! Full liquor bar available.  21 & up welcome.  All tickets are General Admission.  There is limited seating and lots of standing room.  Doors open at 7:30 pm.  We recommend arriving 1 hour prior to show time.  After 5:30pm the day of the show, tickets are only available at the door.
