In 2013, Kenya made her way across the pond to the UK.

The Club Harlem Revue 2015 will be part of The KY Ave Fest on August 8th!
Atlantic City's longest running summer cultural festival The Kentucky Avenue Renaissance is coming to town on Saturday August 8th!
As part of the celebration, radio personality and entertainment producer Raymond C Tyler has been asked to produce The Club Harlem Revue as part of the festival.
The Club Harlem was the Atlantic City's answer to New York's Apollo Theater.
Like The Apollo, AC's Club Harlem welcomed many of the world's brightest Black Entertainers to her stage.
Also like The Apollo , The Club Harlem went through all kinds of difficulties during the 1980's and entertainment styles changed. Unlike The Apollo, The Club Harlem was not able to weather the storm of entertainers having access to larger, higher paying venues. The Club Harlem was eventually torn down and The KY Fest takes place in the parking lot where The Club Harlem once stood.This year Raymond C Tyler is working hard on a show that will celebrate the memory of The Club Harlem with Music, Dance, Comedy, Trivia for prizes and an awards show.
The KY Festival and Club Harlem Revue is all free of charge.
So make plans to come out and celebrate the legacy of KY AVE and The Club Harlem!
