Redonkulous Entertainment is making their mark in the Comics and Entertainment World. The company was formed by nine best friends who grew up together in Atlantic City. They have created a shared vision and have believed in one another for the past 25 years.
What does “Redonkulous” mean? “It means everything and anything and not being afraid of who you are, being authentic,” explains Tonya Fields.
The dynamic team writes, designs and illustrates comic books. They have already published five books. Their next book, “Blood Moon, Issue 3″ is set to be released January 8th with a book signing and celebration,” A Redonkulous Renaissance” also on that day, Friday, January 8th, 2021 at the Showboat Hotel, Mansion Room, from 3pm-7pm.

During the pandemic, while most businesses have struggled, Redonkulous Entertainment has continued to thrive. They have launched a clothing line. Both their books and merchandise can be purchased at Level Up in the Hamilton Mall. Additionally, they have a strong social media following and have several skits and videos on their YouTube channel.
Redonkulous Entertainment is being honored at the upcoming Tri-State Black History Awards hosted by Angela Burton on February 27th, 2021 at the All Wars Memorial Building in Atlantic City.
What’s next for Redonkulous Entertainment? “Can’t stop, won’t stop,” replied Kevin Martin. “Entertaining more people, showcasing local talent and a music division are on the horizon.”
