PRESS RELEASE:
Heavy Weight Comedy Jam
02 Apr 2009
At times like these, when people tell you to not tighten your belt but sell your belt, cut back, switch off the lights and rent out the kids room … there really is only ONE thing to do. Buy your tickets now for the Real Heavyweight Comedy Jam at Grand West Casino at last years prices.
With a star studded line up this show will be worth every cent.
Featuring a new comic on the bill, the worlds number one Jewish Xhosa-speaking comedian, Nik Rabinowitz who was recently named the 2008 Stand Up Comedian of the Year at the SA Comedy Awards.
Boundless energy and earthy charm, coupled with an animated and fluent use of English, Xhosa and Afrikaans, initially endeared this white farm boy from Plumstead-West to millions of South African television viewers as the multi-lingual presenter of SABC 1's Coca-Cola Megamillions Gameshow. He later demonstrated his versatility by becoming M-Web's big black box guy – surfing trains in lycra bodysuits and persuading large female traffic cops to pop into the post-office for his Gran.
However it was his skill as a stand-up comedian that took South African audiences and critics by storm and a loyal and appreciative fan base quickly grew. His fourth and most recent one-man show "In the Nik " enjoyed a sell-out season, as well as great critical success.
Fresh after the TV show, “So You Think You Funny”, David Kau will have you rolling down the aisles in side splitting laughter.
The rest of the hilarious line up includes, Cape Towns very own Stuart Taylor with Martin Jonas, Chris Forrest and your MC for the evening will be none other than Darren Whackhead Simpson who will keep you laughing the whole night long.
Don’t miss the first Real Heavyweight Comedy Jam for 2009 at Grand West Casino. Tickets are from R130 and exclude Computicket service charges.
Bookings open now at Computicket on 083 914 8000 / 083 915 8000.
