The audience loved the show and it also served as a platform for local artists to showcase their talent.
We have many talented and amazing artists in this country. However, while this is a comedy show it does have a serious purpose: we are raising funds for the new children’s home in Phoenix.
All proceeds from this show will be donated to the Phoenix Child and Welfare Peru and Bala show at the Musical Comedy Nite 2 at Sibaya Casino later this Society for development of the home which takes care of abused, neglected, abandoned children and those who are victims of family violence. When this home is completed, it will accommodate up to 40 children.”
