A bunch of local comedians
will gather in force as Artists for Autism in a jam-packed comedy night to help
raise funds for Action in Autism on October 14 at the George Campbell School
Hall .
Action in Autism,
which provides early intervention for 16 children under the age of 6 at their
Centre in Sydenham, will host the Comedy Night with 12 local comedians
featuring Analakshmi and Neil Green as the headline acts. Comedians include Troy
Tesla, SbuMnyandu, Mo Vawda, Kamz, Mathew, Mfundo, David M, Darryl, Xolani and
Vanessa – who all bring their unique blend of humour to the stage for an
evening of laughter and fun.
“Action in Autism,
besides running early interventions, also provides a free walk-in resource and
support service, a free diagnostic clinic, and regular support group meetings
for families of people with autism,” explains Chairperson Liza Aziz. “Many
organisations such as ours are working with people with special needs and have
no support whatsoever from government and we rely heavily on the goodwill of
civil society for funds – so we urge everyone needing some light relief to come
join us for some fun and help us support people with autism. A special thanks
to these artists who have agreed to help us with this fundraiser too!”
Snacks and
refreshments will be on sale. All proceeds go to ensuring the continuation of
Action in Autism’s services to the autistic community.
Artists for Autism Comedy Night takes place on October 14 at 19h00 at the
George Campbell School Hall, 261 Sylvester Ntuli Road, Durban. Tickets R120
available from the Action in Autism office and Computicket. For more
