The biggest names in South African comedy
are coming to Durban in The Big 5 Comedy
Show.
Presented by Taylormade Productions and
supported by East Coast Radio and Comedy Central, this epic ensemble will see
five of the biggest South African comedians perform at The Playhouse on June 29
and 30. Nik Rabinowitz, Krijay Govender, Jason Goliath, Stuart Taylor and
Kagiso Lediga will bring the funny to stage along with the legendary DJ Ready D
rocking the decks.
The
Big 5 Comedy Show has been a sold-out comedy
sensation in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth, and its debut in
Durban is not to be missed. Since “The Big 5” is synonymous for that which is
most sought-after, the Big 5 in comedy means that we only include the biggest
and best in the comedy industry. Collectively these comics have some of the
most impressive résumés in South Africa. From hosting television shows, to
writing, directing and starring in movies, and performing comedy shows that
pack out festivals and theatres across the globe, this is an ensemble quite
unlike any other.
“We put a lot of thought into making our
line-ups as diverse as possible, ensuring that there is something for every
taste” explained co-producer, Elisca Taylor. “We also create a spectacular set
along with an amazing lighting design which all adds to the theatre of the
show. Added to this is the award-winning DJ Ready D who always manages to
create an electric atmosphere.”
Renowned comedian Stuart Taylor said this
show lives in a slightly different space to the traditional ensemble show.
"Because there are only five acts on the line-up, each of them gets to
perform for a longer time than during your typical ensemble show. Therefore,
the audience gets to really experience more of each performer and it also
allows each of the comics to really shine on stage”.
Five big comics, all on one big stage ...

and better than the Big 5 Comedy Show!
