The comedians include the hugely popular Carl Joshua Ncube, whose jokes are reflections of everyday situations, delivered with idioms that can mirror anyone’s life. Ncube has toured Africa with his hilarious style and this will be one of his final shows before he leaves to pursue his career in New York. Also in the line-up are Q the Boss, a dynamic young comedian who is relevant, dramatic and down-right funny and Clive Chigubu, who lives in Barbourfields.
This ground-breaking show will also feature the local hit comedy news show Zambezi News that has had audiences in Zimbabwe and abroad in stitches since its launch in late 2011. Irreverent, sarcastic and downright hilarious, this is the news as you’ve always wanted it to be presented.
Created by two of the country’s pioneering creative minds, Comrade Fatso and Outspoken, Zambezi News hilariously deals with everything from race to culture and from politics to sport. This show will feature highlights from the just completed first season and will be comically presented by news presenters Mandape Mandape (Outspoken), Jerome Weathers (Comrade Fatso) and Kudzaishe Mushayahembe (Michael Kudakwashe) presenting live in studio while also cutting away to ludicrous reports, spoof music videos and cheeky adverts.
Complimentary copies of Season 1 of Zambezi News will also be distributed to those in attendance at the Comedy Night. The Festival will run from September 18 – 23, featuring live concerts, DJ parties, an international poetry slam, photo exhibitions, workshops, debates and much more. The theme this year is “Take Over The Town” as Shoko spreads across the city into the suburbs – high and low density.
