(Karou
Charou)
Formidable comedian, Karou Charou – well known for
his hit productions Beauty and da Charou with Beauty Ramapelepele, Kama
Sutra, and Hot & Spicy which have sold out at venues across the
country – makes a welcome comeback at Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom
this weekend.
He hits the stage at the iZulu Theatre where he
will perform three of his hit shows over three days; his outrageously funny
adult comedy, Kama Sutra 1 at 20h00 on September 9, the hilarious
instalment Kama Sutra 2 at 20h00 on
September 10, and his family friendly show, Hot & Spicy at 15h00 on
September 11.
“We are thrilled to confirm that Karou Charou is
back on our stage to perform three of his most successful shows over three
consecutive days. This means three entirely different scripts, different zany
outfits, different props and different technical requirements. It is going to
be a rip roaring weekend for comedy fans. Whether you have seen the shows
before or not, this is a not-to-be-missed comedy feast with South Africa’s
favourite Indian comedian,” says Belinda Jelf, Marketing Manager at Sibaya.
The highly charismatic Karou, with his trademark
outfits, dark glasses, bling and refreshingly interactive comedic style, is one
of the most commercially successful comedians in South Africa. His popularity
was recognized by McDonalds which chose him as the face for its Hot & Spicy
Burger campaign, which included adverts on national TV, Billboards across the
country, cinema and social media ads.
Kama Sutra 1 premiered with a record seven
consecutive sold-out shows at Sibaya, catapulting the then relatively unknown
Karou to instant fame. It is a wickedly funny one-man show that provides no
holds-barred insight into sex and sexuality in the Indian community. Using a
clever combination of slide shows, quick wit, toilet humour and an assortment
of “toys”, the “Turbaned One” debunks myths, challenges traditions and educates
his audience. It is a 90-minute roller coaster of laughs.
Kama Sutra 2 was the much-anticipated sequel
to Kama Sutra which broke attendance records at Sibaya before it sold
out 25 shows across the country. Kama Sutra 2 sees Karou taking on the
role of a sex coach in a bid to build healthier sexual relationships between
couples. He dissects the effect 50 Shades of Grey has had on people,
relates his own experiences on the various sexual positions, explores the
erogenous zones in females and even introduces music and dance in the bedroom,
amongst other interesting topics. The “Sex Toys” segment, which has proved a
crowd pleaser, is back and Karou describes it as “some sort of a Tupperware
party.”
The Hot and Spicy Family Show is
suitable-for-all-ages and showcases the best of Karou over the last five years.
In true Karou style, the audience will play a major role with many landing up
on stage, becoming part of the show. He will have the audience in stitches as
he offers his take on Indian weddings, attempts to explain why 95% of Indians
can’t swim and reveals the real reason why Indians don’t play rugby. He will
also offer his perspective on why it is not normal for human beings to get
married. Then there is the crowd pleasing cowboy “Hoe down”, which will have
fans rolling in the aisles. With so many young fans attending, Karou has a
special segment dedicated to them.
Tickets from R80 to R120 booked through Computicket
and at the Sibaya Box Office. Youngsters under 10 and senior citizens pay just
R80 for the Hot & Spicy Family Show.
