Writer/Comedian/Producer/Actor/Musician 

Tony Hendriks: born in Jamaica, the product of a mixed marriage. His mother was a woman; his father was a man.  

He’s a writer, producer, actor, musician, comedian and a husband. Not always in that order.   

“Paleface Point of View” on CVM TV made him a household face; “Laugh Jamaica” the comedy revue and stand up comedy made him a household name, in Jamaica.  

He’s worked internationally as a comedian but now writes almost exclusively.  

His feature film screenplay “Shoot The Girl” won Black Screenplays Matter 2017. The short film “Shoot The Girl” won Best Local Film at GATFFEST 2017.  


Here comes summer! It’s festival time and Jamaica has plenty: musical, cultural, herbal, literary and culinary: animal, vegetable and mineral.
