“The Long Bunfight to Freedom” comes to the Mother City
One of South Africa’s most popular and best-selling annual comedy shows, Nando’s presents Mass Hysteria, is heading back to Cape Town by popular demand. After entertaining thousands of comedy fans up north during its Johannesburg run this past August, Comedy Parliament is coming “home” to where the real seat of government is – Artscape Theatre.
As an unyielding machine of comedy and mockery, the “ministers” take on topical issues, pressing concerns and vital government actions and brutally ridicule them. Billed as the “Government of Comedy” the comedians are each introduced as ministers of outrageous and fabricated departments, like the “Minister for Upgrading, Downsizing, Insighting and Outsourcing” and the oh-so-important “Minister of Ben 10’s, YOLO and Homesteads”.
Look forward to a funny night out with the country’s top comedy politicians:
John Vlismas: Minister of Non-Communicative Diseases
Tumi Morake: Minister of Ben 10’s, YOLO and Homesteads
Mpho Popps Modikoane: Minister of Television and Gratuitous Adverts
Alan Committie: Minister for Upgrading, Downsizing, Insighting and Outsourcing
Chester Missing: Shadow Puppet Minister*
Loyiso Gola: Minister of Sportswear, Emmy Nominations and Australian Affairs
And…
