About this work
This 1994 Slam Jam Comedy Fest II poster captures a moment just before Chris Tucker and Steve Harvey became nationally prominent, advertising a live stand‑up show at Baltimore’s Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall with Downtown Tony Brown completing the bill. Designed and printed by the legendary Globe Poster Co., the piece uses the company’s signature bold typography, high‑contrast portraits, and explosive red shapes to sell energy and personality as much as information, linking it visually to decades of R&B, soul, and go‑go posters produced in the same shop. Coming directly from the Globe Poster archive, it functions not only as a record of Black comedy and touring culture in the 1990s, but also as an artifact of Black‑adjacent print and design history in Baltimore, making it a valuable performance‑ephemera anchor within your collection.
