(Carvin H Goldstone)
Promising
rip-roaring, hilarious, standup comedy for the whole family, South Africa's
fastest rising standup comedy star, Carvin H Goldstone, will perform in the Playhouse
Opera Theatre on June 29.
He commands
audiences ranging from Bluff ous to Slum ous, Bruin ous to Bread ous, Zulu's
and Boolooloos and many in between. Comedy DVD sales have seen his national
comedy profile grow in leaps and bounds in recent years, expanding his funny
style to all South African audiences.
Carvin
has an arsenal of accents, impersonations and funny true stories about his life
and Durbanites. He is a storyteller extraordinaire. But what keeps the crowds
coming back and bringing others with them to watch this young comedian is the
fact that he does it all without swearing or talking dirty.
In seven
years on stage Carvin has never used any vulgarity in his comedy. And everybody
in comedy is starting to take note. Indian comedy King Muthu Murugan called
Carvin the future of Durban comedy and said he was impressed at how he did it
all without swearing. South Africa's comedy cousin Barry Hilton told a full
house at his one man show at Sibiya isiZulu Theatre to go and watch Carvin H
Goldstone. "He is one funny young man," said Hilton. Heavyweight
comedians Loyiso Gola, Stuart Taylor, Joey Rasdien and Nik Rabinowitz have all
asked Carvin to be the opening act at their one man shows.
However,
it is in his own one-man shows that Carvin really steps into his own and shows
why he’s one of Durban comedy's main ous. His 2011 debut one-man show – No Swearing – was a huge local success
at the Playhouse Drama and solidified his standing as
Durban’s most hilarious, “100% clean” comedian! 2012 saw the launch of his
second, highly anticipated one-man show –iBruino
- which had audience members of all ages and race groups in stitches!
Carvin
will launch his latest comedy DVD, iBruino,
with one last staging of the show at the Playhouse Opera Theatre on June 29 at
20h00. It’s an hour and a half of clean, family-friendly comedy with a unique
Durban flavour from one of the city's finest. Tickets R120 at Computicket, Shoprite
and Checkers or R80 for block bookings of 10 tickets or more.
iBruino DVD will be on sale after the show. For
