(Arno Els)
Comedian, musician, and national champion Arno “Ahno It’s
Arno Els” has finally pulled himself towards himself and put together a journey
of a show. Taking place on October 31 at the Colombo Factory Cafe, it offers an
hour and some odd change of comedy and music. When asked what the reason was,
he responded by saying: “I’m broke. But also, I think I’ve found my voice and
I’m ready to make people laugh, and leave them with something to ponder when
they crawl into bed that night.”
He’s been around the block and performed with some renowned
acts in DBN, JHB, and CPT as well as won the 2014 DSOC Young Gun of the Year
Award.
Arno is also a respected musician in the Durban music scene
and “The Naked Truth” sees him
combining music and humour to get across what words simply can’t.
Audiences can look forward to him diving head-first into
topics such as relationships, addiction, procreation, growing pains, the
struggles of being Afrikaans but lacking culture, and where we’ll find
ourselves in the future as a human race.
“The Naked Truth is
loosely based around myself, my thoughts, my shallow, yet vast narcism, and my
love for everything alive,” he says.
The Naked Truth takes
place on October 31 at 18h30 at Colombo / The Factory Cafe, 369 Magwaza
Maphalala Road (formerly Gale Street). Tickets R110 includes dinner, wine and
the show. Bookings on 072 122 7561or email info@the031.com.
