The Alternative After Carnival Festival is heading to Tobago for one show on March 11 at Shaw Park Complex.
Formerly known as the Alternative Comedy Festival, the event was rebranded to incorporate all aspects of local culture, comedy, drama, soca, pan, chutney, calypso, extempo, and dance – giving locals and tourists the opportunity to see the best of the best from Carnival on one stage in one show, a media release said.
