Laugh for Mandela

-

Seven of South Africa’s best comics reunite on stage for one night only in the unforgetta­ble Nelson Mandela Centenary 2018: A Night to Remember Comedy Show on Friday at the Teatro at Montecasin­o.

Produced by Real Concerts on behalf of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the event brings together award-winning comedians Barry Hilton, Chris Forrest, David Kau, Marc Lottering, Nik Rabinowitz, Riaad Moosa and Tumi Morake.

All appeared together in the hugely successful and ground-breaking 46664 It’s No Joke nearly a decade ago. The master of ceremonies for the evening will be Whackhead Simpson.

This year marks the centenary of the birth of Mandela, who was born on July 18, 1918.

Throughout the year, the Nelson Mandela Foundation – establishe­d by Mandela in 1999 after he stepped down as president of South Africa – will promote his legacy through a series of events and engagement­s. All proceeds from A Night to Remember Comedy Show will go to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

Tickets start at R250 and are available from Computicke­t.

Four lucky readers will win double tickets to the Nelson Mandela Centenary 2018: A Night to Remember Comedy Show on Friday at the Teatro at Montecasin­o.
