(Daryl
Williams)
Durban comedian Daryl Williams is all set
to stage his debut one-man show, Too
Coloured? this weekend (November 3 to 5!)
The 30-year-old funny man hails from Durban.
A natural storyteller, his humour is family friendly, with no vulgarity. Noted
for his hilarious punchlines and sharp, observational humour, Williams was
drafted in the National Savanna Comics Choice Awards for 2017, and proved to be
a stand out performer on the night. His one of the most booked comedians in
Durban today, having recently shared the stage with The Goliath and Goliath
Crew, Marc Lottering, Mark Banks and Carvin H Goldstone to name just a few.
A former finance wizard, he left the
corporate world to pursue his career in entertainment. He’s broken down
barriers and built bridges over obstacles deemed “impossible” and he’s already
become a household name.
Since going full time into standup comedy,
Daryl has performed on some of biggest comedy platforms in SA, including the
Goliath Comedy Club in Melrose Johannesburg. He has toured Swaziland,
Mozambique and toured as a guest act on the MSC Sinfonia cruise ship.
Too
Coloured? is described as a side-splitting showcase
of multi-cultural humour that can be enjoyed by anybody. It poses a direct
question which relates to Williams’ amazing ability to relate to any race, age
and culture - as he has done so all through South Africa in his career.
“My inspiration is always people based.
There is a clear message for all South Africans that is relevant to our current
affairs. This show provides comic relief through a unique array of
multicultural humour,” he explains.
Dubbed as 'the next Trevor Noah', Williams
has a relatable story for everybody, his audience is always wanting more!
“You can expect to hear about the struggles
of those who grew up with no medical aid in the past and the funny concoctions
that were used to replace modern medicine. You’ll hear a bit of current
observational, stereotypical humour - which does not offend but rather creates
a funny outlook at things, where we can all laugh at ourselves and our
sometimes silly behaviour,” he adds.
Too
Coloured? comes hot off the heels of Daryl’s
#HomeComing tour which catapulted him onto the local and international comedy
scene.

Coloured? runs from November 3 to 5 at The Bat Centre
with shows on November 3 and 4 at 20h00 and November 5 at 15h00. Tickets R100 booked
via www.quicket.co.za or R120 at the door. Block bookings for 10 or more: R80
