Let’s keep laughing…
The comedy nights at Funny Bones are getting more interesting and more interactive. Stuart Lightbody’s magic performance and guest appearance from American comic, Danny Lobell, were enhanced by the support acts from young comics – Liam Bento, Siya Seya and Milo Hot Chocolate. There was even a cameo performance by Jeannie D (from Top Billing) who served as a great assistant for one of Stuart’s tricks).
The atmosphere fantastic was fabulous, the comics performed well and the drinks were flowing. This Tuesday, we expect much of the same. Check out the press release below for the line-up:
Funny Bones Comedy, 31st August 2010
On Tuesday, 31st August 2010, Purple Turtle will be hosting another fantastic Funny Bones line-up. Since inception, Mum-z (co-founder of the show) has been able to host some of the funniest established comedians and the funniest new talent that Cape Town has ever seen. The show has picked up some steam and is now a fixed part of most comedy loving Capetonians’ calendars.
This Tuesday, the line-up includes Phila Mnyanda (who is a new comic to the scene and will be doing the open spot). He is originally from Soweto, Johannesburg but has relocated to Cape Town. His career in the navy and his unique background will allow for the audience to get a new insight the different life choices that others take.
Support act Anne Hirsch, who was the winner of Davis Kau’s “So You Think You’re Funny” Season 2 (screened on SABC), will be sharing her theatrical wit and humour with the audience and is fast becoming one of Cape Town’s best comediennes.
Rustum August, who is part of the Starving Comics comedy collective, will also be performing on the night. His dry humuor and sharp wit will keep the audiences brains’ active. He runs regular comedy nights at Zula Bar every Monday.
Headlining the show will be Mum-z, who is co-founder of Funny Bones and Editor of the comedy playground; Mumz The Word (www.mumz-the-word.com). He has been in the comedy scene since 2007 (part-time) but has already shared stage time with acts such as Trevor Noah, Loyiso Gola, Marc Lottering and Kurt Schoonraad. He has performed at Blacks Only (3 times), Rocking The Daisies 2009, Grahamstown Arts Festival 2007, Arts Alive 2007, Real Heavyweight Comedy Jam, Soweto Comedy Festival and other comedy festivals around the country. He is a theatrical performer turned comedic entertainer and has been described by many as one of South Africa’s best up and coming comics.
