With a 50-plus-year stage career, Oliver Samuels is a household name across Jamaica, the Caribbean, and its global diaspora. The actor and comedian rose to fame in the late 1980s for his leading performance in the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation’s sitcom Oliver at Large.
Effortlessly slipping in and out of Jamaican Patois and standard English, Mr. Samuels shares how his comedy brings Jamaicans around the world together.
