Shebada
Jamaican actor Keith ‘Shebada’ Ramsay came on the scene in 2006, after he entered the first season of
Comedy Buss, a comedy talent show in Jamaica where he placed third. He then started doing ‘roots’ plays which then led to him becoming a household name in
Bashment Granny.
The
Jamaica Gleaner in reviewing his performance in that play said, “Multi-talented Keith Ramsay is the pulsing heart of the show. He is the ever present next door neighbour who appears male yet seems to personify the stereotype that is ghetto female. The question of his sexuality is perhaps answered best by ‘Shebada’ himself when he says ‘mi deh pon di border line'” — a line that became a pop culture statement and was even used in political circles.
