Comedian/entertainer Mervyn Pillay (Back in Time and One Nite Stand) plays host and ringmaster to his new show for 2013.
Featuring Pillay alongside fellow comedians Arnotte Payne (Bruin Oues Only), and Anesh
Dusrath (Tamasha aur Masti) as well
as Idols finalist Lendel Moonsamy and
Super Sterre finalist, Darrius Pillay, Braz
Ouz opens at the iZulu Theatre at Sibaya Casino on March 8 to run for two
performances.
“Braz Ouz” (male friends), is a typical
Durban term of endearment hence the title of the show Braz Ouz in Concert. All these entertainers have performed
throughout South Africa, with some appearing on radio and television.
Mervyn Pillay, famed for his Bollywood
impersonations and stand-up routines, has had his fair share of performing and
entertaining for over 25 years. He has shared the stage with some of South Africa’s
most talented comedians and musicians. This time, he plays the host and anchor
of the show and promises some spanking new material for the audience, from SA
politics to everything that we normally don’t want to talk about.
He brings together some of his pals in the
world of comedy and music:
Singer, composer, musician Lendel Moonsamy
is the “new kid on the block” who won the hearts of many admiring fans when he
was placed 4th in the 2009 MNET IDOLS
competition. His performances received rave reviews nationwide and he earned a
special place in many hearts. Since his debut album, I Am Lendel, was released in July 2010, it has already had two
singles on radio, Someday and Home again and has received strong
public response.
Arnotte Payne is a motivator, comedian,
actor, singer, instrumentalist and public speaker and has performed all over South
Africa over the past 15 years. He has performed with the likes of Carvin H
Goldstone, Eugene Khoza, Nick Ribnick, Laughing Stock, Trevor Noah, and Afzal Khan.
He also won best comedian 2008 in KZN in the Madras Masala Comedy Competition.
A leading newspaper rated Arnotte Payne Funniest man in South Africa February
14, 2010. He is also rated the “cleanest comedian” in South Africa.
Darius Pillay is the only contestant from
KZN to have won a spot in the top ten of the hit reality series Supersterre on SABC2. Born and brought
up in Durban, he is a chemical engineer by day. He began singing at the age of
five and his vocal skills gained him much recognition in esteemed music circles
resulting in him performing at major great theatres locally and abroad. In 2010
he was honoured by the South African Rugby Union by being asked to perform the
Italian national anthem for the match between South Africa and Italy in Witbank
and again called to perform the Australian National Anthem for the clash
between the Springboks and Australia in August 2011.
Comedian and radio jock Anesh Dusrath is one
half of the radio comedy kings duo programme Tamasha Aur Masti on Radio Hindvani, the fastest growing community
station in South Africa. From appearing in concerts during his school days, he
has gone on to perform as MC at functions, in radio dramas and stage plays as
well as his interactive show Tamasha Aur
Masti. Some of his stage works include Cassandra@
no 77, Tuckshop, Sapno Ka Safar, “Five Ball Thunee and Devil In Disguise. His show with fellow Tamasha Aur Masti DJ Vee Ganie has performed to sell out audiences
at the Durban City Hall.
