The Caribbean Comedy Linkup is a dinner-show evening at Scotty’s Smoke House in Liliendaal, on the eastern edge of Georgetown.
The Guyana Caribbean Comedy Linkup brings five Caribbean comedians to Scotty’s Smoke House in Liliendaal, Georgetown, Guyana, on Friday 23 October 2026. The show starts at 8 p.m. Guyana time. General admission costs US$40 (GYD 8,000) and VIP seats US$80 (GYD 16,000), plus fees.
Three countries on one bill
The line-up joins comedians from three Caribbean countries. Errol Fabien comes from Trinidad and Tobago. Christopher “Johnny” Daley comes from Jamaica. Chow Pow, Jumbie Jones and Chris Gopaul are from Guyana.
Daley has promoted the show on his own social media with the message “Guyana, we coming”. The organiser is Marcus B Entertainment. It sells tickets on Eventbrite, the international ticket platform.
Guyana sits on the north coast of South America, but it shares its language and culture with the English-speaking Caribbean. It is a member of CARICOM, the Caribbean Community. Comedy shows often travel this regional circuit.
The venue: Scotty’s Smoke House
The organiser lists the venue as Scotty’s Smoke House, Lot 8 Liliendaal. The restaurant’s own website confirms that address. It opened in June 2024, according to the newspaper Kaieteur News.
Scotty’s specialises in smoked meats and fish, such as ribs, brisket and smoked prawns. It has a tropical garden setting with indoor and open-air seating. Chef Lennox Scotty leads the kitchen.
Liliendaal lies on the East Coast Demerara, just east of central Georgetown. The Eventbrite page lists free parking at the venue. It is not a traditional theatre, so expect table seating and a relaxed setting.
A dinner-show format
The Guyana Directory events listing describes a dinner-show set-up. BBQ food and drinks are served at the tables during the performances, not before them.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show runs from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. DJ sets fill the gaps between comedians. The organiser has not published the running order or the length of each set.
The listings do not say whether food and drinks are included in the ticket price. The organiser has not said what the VIP ticket includes beyond its seating. Ask the venue before you book if it matters to you.
Tickets and prices
General admission costs US$40, listed as GYD 8,000. VIP costs US$80, listed as GYD 16,000. Eventbrite adds booking fees on top of both prices.
The Guyana dollar trades at about 209 per US dollar in September 2026. That makes the local prices roughly equal to the US dollar figures. Some businesses in Georgetown accept both currencies.
Physical tickets are also sold at Scotty’s Smoke House and at Fireside Grill & Chill, according to Eventbrite. The event is for ages 18 and over. The organiser states that tickets are not refundable.
Getting there and getting home
Georgetown’s main airport, Cheddi Jagan International, is at Timehri, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of the city. Some regional flights use the smaller Eugene F. Correia airport at Ogle, close to Liliendaal.
Taxis are the usual way to reach the venue at night. Ask your hotel to book a registered taxi, and agree the fare before the ride. Minibuses run along the East Coast road but are less practical late at night.
The show ends at 11:30 p.m. Book your ride home in advance or call it from inside the venue. Avoid walking along the main road after dark, as you would in many Caribbean cities.
Who the comedians are
Errol Fabien is a long-established comedian and actor from Trinidad and Tobago. Christopher “Johnny” Daley is a Jamaican comedian and actor known to Caribbean television audiences.
The three Guyanese comedians bring local humour to the bill. Guyanese stand-up often plays on daily life, politics and the mix of Indo-Guyanese, Afro-Guyanese and other cultures.
Caribbean comedy mixes English with local Creole languages. Some jokes may be hard to follow for newcomers at first. The pace and the crowd’s reactions usually make the evening easy to enjoy anyway.
Georgetown’s growing night-time scene
Guyana’s economy has grown fast since offshore oil production began in December 2019. New hotels, restaurants and event spaces have opened in and around Georgetown. Scotty’s is one of these newer venues.
That growth has brought more touring acts from across the Caribbean. It has also raised living costs for many residents, and hotel prices for visitors.
For expats and visitors, the Linkup is a relaxed way to see how the region laughs at itself. It is one Friday night in a city whose cultural calendar is still filling out.
