The long-standing flagship comedy brand, Kings & Queens of Comedy, has kicked
off the year with a new look to match its royal entourage. The first show of 2019 will take place at the
Durban ICC on February 16 and guarantees to be a show of hysterical
proportions!
The royal court of South Africa comedy
giants includes Angel Campey, Carvin Goldstone, Muthu Murugan, Ndumiso Lindi,
Riaad Moosa, Schalk Bezuidenhout, Tumi Morake and the unmatchable team of
Conrad Koch and Chester Missing, with some new faces joining the Kings & Queens of Comedy family -
Thenjiwe Moseley, Mo Vawda and Lindy Johnson. And no Kings & Queens of Comedy event in Durban would be the same
without its royal host, Darren Maule. Having made a name for himself over the
past two decades, Maule’s humour, intelligent banter and storytelling and
raucous laughter has made him a household name across Durban, which is why he
returns to centre stage as the host of this royal affair.
The vibrant and immensely talented
trailblazer, Angel Campey, brings her brand of observational humour to the
stage. Fast-becoming a leading voice in
SA comedy, Angel’s comedy has been dubbed as comedy for the discerning young
South African is nothing short of hilarious.
Carvin Goldstone’s clean honest comedy has
won him audiences all over the country and it’s not hard to see why he is a
firm favourite on the stage as he explores politics, family and life as a
coloured person in South Africa.
South Africa’s most vocal and
politically-opinionated puppet, Chester Missing, accompanied by his faithful
sidekick, Conrad Koch, are synonymous for their often outrageous,
punch-packing, controversial, funny and frank views on the current South
African state of affairs.
Known as the ‘King of Indian Comedy’, Muthu
Murugan has been wowing audiences for many years. Ndumiso Lindi, the gentleman
of South African comedy, otherwise known as Roosta, effortlessly blends new-age
style with old-school traditions. His deep voice, soul-warming smile, booming
laughter, original content and seamless delivery makes for a comedy act that is
outstanding and soulfully South African.
As an award-winning comedian, actor, writer
and presenter, Riaad Moosa is one of South Africa’s most popular and acclaimed
funny men – and he happens to be a qualified medical doctor too. He certainly
seems to have the remedy for the nation’s ills – a healthy dose of laughter,
straight up – and hold the aspirin.
Schalk Bezuidenhout, the talent as sweet as
mother’s milk and with a skop as powerful as brandy, is not your
run-of-the-mill comedian. His refreshing
approach to comedy explores his conservative upbringing and his current liberal
outlook on life.
With a comedy career spanning over 12 years
and numerous outstanding credentials under her belt, including author,
columnist and TV host, Tumi Morake continues to be a formidable force in the comedy
industry. Her edgy and unpredictable brand of comedy has wowed audiences around
the globe, in particular with her recent comedy special on Netflix.
Celebrating seven years of Kings & Queens of Comedy, Blu Blood
created the brand in 2012 in Johannesburg and it has since grown to be one of
the leading comedy brands in South Africa, promoting and showcasing local
talent from around the country.
These comedy heavyweights have shined their
comical armour and sharpened their witty swords and are ready to kick off the
2019 comedy calendar as they take hilarity to the next level. The show is rated
PG16. Tickets from R200 are available from Computicket outlets and online.
Another hilarious production brought to you
by Blu Blood and East Coast Radio.
