UA | Juneteenth Debate
Who: The Humble Boyz: content makers, vibe creators, and yes, we have access to a yacht in Marina Del Rey!
All thanks to our partners at Unexpected Artistry.
The What: We are kicking off our Summer Cruise & Conversation Series by settling one of the most personal debates in Black households across America.
The release of Michael has reignited the conversation, and we are bringing it off the dinner table to Marina Del Rey.
Join us for
Joe Jackson: Hero, Villain, or Both?
A lively evening featuring live comedy performances, intellectuals, exclusive video content screenings, and a live audience vote to settle the debate once and for all.
Come cast your verdict, then step outside and toast to it on the water for the Off The Wall Boat Cruise aboard the Humble Yacht.
Light bites, wine, and champagne included. Please feel welcome to BYOB... It's okay to be that person.
When: June 19th, 2026
Start Time: 4:30 PM
**Guests are welcome to board the Humble Yacht at 7 PM, even if you don't attend the Comedy Debate Live Event.
Where: Marina del Rey. Once you grab your tickets, you'll get the full details. The program will be held in an intimate venue steps away from where we set sail.
The Why: It's Juneteenth. So...yeah.

Joe Jackson: Hero, Villain, or Both?
This Juneteenth, Unexpected Artistry and The Humble Boyz invite guests into a one-night cultural experience designed to spark conversation, laughter, reflection, debate, music, and community along the Marina del Rey waterfront.
But this is not simply a debate about Joe Jackson.
It is a live cultural gathering rooted in comedy, internet culture, music, storytelling, civic dialogue, and celebration. Because the future of culture has always been communal.
