The Old Mutual/GoodHope FM Comedy Encounters Festival
An unforgettable evening of side splitting comedy. That is what you can expect from this evening, with MC Colin Moss. A professional MC and gentleman’s comedian, the crowd will adore him!
This festival will take place March 30, 31 and April 2-5. Old Mutual presents a music series, a comedy show and the famous world renowned Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon.
The concert and family picnic will take place at Spier Estate in Stellenbosch on the 8th of April. Artists that will be performing including Hothouse Flowers, Arno Carstens, Jimmy Dludlu, Karen Zoid and Neo Muyanga. Tickets will cost R150 per adults and R50 for the first child, while the rest under 12 will enter for free. The concert will start at noon and carry on until around 6pm.
The Encounters Comedy Festival will take place 30-31 March and 2-5 April. This is a celebration of South African stand-up talent with a top line-up, which includes Martin Evans, Mark Lottering, Martin Davis, Wayvinne Dawson, Martin Jonas and Chris Forest. These guys will have you in tears! The festival starts at 8pm at the Baxter Theatre and tickets cost R75.
Each comedian has his own uniqueness. Marc Lottering is truly the face of Cape Town and hilariously funny. Colin Moss returns to his roots here as he started out with comedy, before moving on to other ventures. He is still funny though!
Martin Evans recently returned to South Africa after 10 years in the UK. Martin Davis is also a comedian from London. Although Jonas has not been in the country for 10 years, this ducktail from Potchefstroom created his act on the old South Africa. He was discovered in Johannesburg and become a fresh face of the future of South African comedy. Twenty-two-year-old Dawson has been labelled as a ‘new breed’ of comedian and rather draws his inspirations from South Africa in its more contemporary context. He is honing his skills as MC. He received a standing ovation at the inaugural Smirnoff Mule Comedy Festival at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town in 1997.
Chris Forest is the face of the Sasol Athens 2004 Olympic adverts. He is a favourite with the audience and everyone loves his deadpan routine and one-liners.
Davis is known for being quick on his feet and for his “marmoset antics†which always tend to prove interesting.
Put all these guys together and you are guaranteed to have an evening that will leave you in hysterics!
