ATLANTA – Bounce TV — the nation’s first-ever and fastest-growing broadcast television network designed for African American audiences — recently announced a 17-city comedy tour called Off The Chain Live! which is based on its popular stand-up comedy series Off The Chain!
Off The Chain is Bounce TV’s family-friendly comedy show featuring some of the most hilarious African-American comedians on the stand-up scene.
Off The Chain series host Rodney Perry will headline all of the Off The Chain Live! performances.

Before becoming host of Off The Chain, he served as the co-host of The Mo’Nique Show on BET, host of the Who’s Got Jokes series and also starred in Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family.
Comedians Lav Luv and Kiana Dancie will perform as part of the tour with Luv serving as MC for all shows.
