(The inimitable Mark Banks!)
Go for
broke with Mark Banks! South African comedy legend Mark Banks is back – and
this time he is going for broke in his new one-man show Banksrupt! which comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre in Durban this
week.
After
several years of working on the biggest comedy line-up shows in South Africa,
Banks makes a triumphant return. The legendary multi-purpose improviser and
lighting speed anarchist just keeps getting better! The Royal Albert Hall, the
Hammersmith Apollo and the PE Opera House are better off having hosted this
iconic showman.
Banksrupt! has been years in the making and in
consultation with two wise men, a babbling gnome and Kobus Wiese, the show
promises to be his greatest comedy work yet.
‘The
title is about where we are as a nation – we’re broke – financially, morally
and mentally and I want to sketch out the villains behind this sorry state
we’re in, obviously with a tongue in cheek flavour to keep it interesting,’
says Banks. According to witnesses the show is described as ‘Screamingly
funny…’, ‘Up to the minute’ and ‘technically, libel’. This production has even
been rated as ‘Blazing’.
The
show, which is being produced by Whacked: Special Project, incorporates
stand-up, sketch and video making it one that the world could not ignore. Catch
Mark Banks live in Banksrupt! He
takes no prisoners, and your money!
Banksrupt runs at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from November
6 to 24 with shows from Wednesday to Friday at 19h30; Saturdays at 14h30 and
19h30 and Sundays 18h00. Tickets R100 booked through Computicket. The show
carries an age restriction of no under-13s.
