(Mervyn Pillay)
August ends on a
funny note with Durban’s “famous five” comedians in the mix for the Pagla Comedy Nite at Sibaya’s iZulu
Theatre on August 28 and 29. Comedians on the bill include Mervyn Pillay, Rahul
Brijnath, Arnott Payne, Vee Ganie and Anesh Dusrath. Pagla Comedy Nite is for all lovers of stand-up comedy, with
special Durban spice.
The comedians will
take the audience on an eye-opening journey of local culture, politics, sport
and more. Pillay is a comedy veteran with numerous shows under his belt
including Back in Time, One Nite Stand,
150 years of Laughing, 3 Standing Up, Bollywood Comedy Night, Aunty Rumba and
Friends, Braz Ouz in Concert and the hugely popular Bruin Ous and Chaars Ous. Pillay loves the comedy scene in Durban
because he says it is diverse and not overdone. He is true to his roots as a
thoroughbred Durbanite, like it or not.
Brijnath is an
up-and-coming comedian who has quickly made inroads into the entertainment
scene. He is also an accomplished stage actor, movie actor, sought-after MC and
model. Payne is also a multi-talented singer, musician, movie actor and
stand-up comic. He speaks English, Zulu, Afrikaans, “Indian” and “Cape
Coloured”, Durban and Joburg style, making him a 100% representative South
African comedian. He will share funny tales about his interaction with the
different races.
Popular Hindvani
radio jock, Dusrath hosts the Tamasha
& Masti show which boasts a large listenership and a massive following.
His live shows of the same name have seen sell-out performances. He brings his
zany and wacky sense of humour that focuses on the daily happenings in the
community, from the markets to the malls.
Anchoring the show
as MC is Hindvani super DJ Vee Ganie, the other half of the successful Tamasha & Masti programme. His
infectious laugh has earned him a huge following of fans. He will bring his
unique style of comedy to the show.
Pagla Comedy Nite has performances at Sibaya’s iZulu Theatre
on August 28 and 29 at 20h00. Tickets R120 booked at Computicket and the Sibaya
Box Office. The show carries an age restriction of 16 years.
