A friend of mine down in Cape Town is doing something admirable and laughable (in a good way). He’s trying to kick-start the comedy scene down there. It seems as though as funny (read “odd”) as Cape Town folk are they don’t have a rocking and happening comedy circuit.
Enter Mumz.
Here’s a bit about the man himself:
Mum-z has performed all over the country including comedy festivals such as “Blacks Only”, “The 94.7 Heavyweight Comedy Jam”, “KFM Heavyweight Comedy”, “Arts Alive”, “Rocking The Daisies”, “Durban Matric Rage Festival” and the “Soweto Comedy Festival”. He has relocated to Cape Town to spread his comedy influence and broaden his fan base. He also has a comedy blog www.mumz-the-word.com which he treats as his comedy playground.
And info on the event:
Funny Bones @ Purple Turtle
“Ladies Night”
Date: 23rd February 2010
Time: 20h00 (doors open), comedy starts at 21h15
Entrance: R30 (men), free (ladies)
Venue: Purple Turtle
Address: Cnr. Shortmarket and Long Street, Cape Town, South Africa
The Purple Turtle presents Funny Bones – regular Tuesday night comedy. Every Tuesday will feature some of SA’s best comedians both established and up-n-coming. On Tuesday 23rd February 2010 Funny Bones would like to showcase some of South Africa’s up and coming comediennes. It’s ladies night.
This means that not only is the host of the evening Cape Town’s very own Tracy Klass, but entrance is free for ladies. Oh yeah. Tracy Klass will be hosting Anne Hirsch (who recently performed in David Kau’s ‘Blacks Only’ comedy tour) and Melanie Jones (who is one of Cape Town’s funniest and most established comediennes).
The first half headliner for the show will be Brendan Murray and the headliner for the evening will be Martin Davis (UK).
The event was conceived by Mum-z, who is a young, talented up and coming comedian who’s dedication to increasing the Cape Town comedy circuit has inspired him to launch new comedy nights in Cape Town including “The Show” at The Albert Hall (Woodstock) and “Funny Bones” at The Purple Turtle, with the assistance of Marius van der Westhuizen (manager of The Purple Turtle) and Batya Blankers (Manager of the Albert Hall).
Entrance for the evening is R30, which is extremely affordable for anyone who loves comedy or has never seen local comedy live. (Ladies get in for free on the 23rd February 2010) All bookings should be made through Mamello Mokoena on talk2me@mumz-the-word.com or 076 801 2113

Hey Blogger, Happy New Years! I am starting an expat blog about making a living while traveling abroad. I am going to try and make a living south of the border as a professional blogger (probably teach some English and do some freelance writing as well). I have tried this twice, and failed (but have learned a lot), this time I will succeed! It will be called “A Broad Abroad” and it will be fun!
