KWV INDIAN COMEDY TOUR

(London comedy sketch artist, Anil Desai)

An impressive line-up of both international and local stand up and sketch-based comedians will be touring KZN in March for the KWV Indian Comedy Tour.

The line-up features Umit Bali from Sydney, Australia, who provides a fast paced life-as-an-immigrant humour and is a very appealing Australian comedian and Anil Desai from London is a fan of pop culture and thus created his own comedy sketch group The Giant Pineapple Boys and has performed in London and Edinburgh Festivals.

The international acts will be complemented by South Africa’s finest. Rabin Harduth hails from Johannesburg – prolific and busy, a regular on the Jo’burg comedy circuit, he plays 100 acts a year in and around Johannesburg. His comedy reflects an intelligent comedian who keeps the audience captivated with his easy and witty brand of humour. Much loved award-winning Durban theatre personality Shika Budhoo; from Chatsworth can be seen alongside Maeshni Naicker who is well known to SA movie and radio audiences and is recognized for her uncanny ability to cast spells of unbridled laughter on virtually any audience. Also from Chatsworth is Koge Naidoo aka Amsugi who is famous for roles in community plays and her lead role in the South African movie, Broken Promises.
