Comedy heatwave

Five of South Africa's top comedians will heat up the stage at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace in July.

Nik Rabinowitz, Marc Lottering, Loyiso Gola, Carvin Goldstone and Jonathan from RadioRaps will have audiences rolling down the aisles in an “unmissable feast for comedy lovers”.

Jokers in July will take place over the first two weekends of the month and will feature a different comedian each night.

Durban-based funny man, Carvin Goldstone, will kick off the comedy festival on July 3 with his no swearing, family-friendly show, aptly named Coloured President.

Goldstone’s side-splitting views on South African and world politics will be the perfect antidote for the mid-winter chills.

His exploration of what South Africa might be like with a coloured president at the helm also provides a laugh a minute.

The hysterical Nik Rabinowitz will set the stage ablaze with his razor-sharp humour on July 4 with What the EFF.

Guaranteed to raise some eyebrows, Rabinowitz’s fast-paced commentary on what’s happening in the headlines, and behind the scenes, will leave audiences in stiches.

Continuing along the political vein, Loyisa Gola’s no holds barred State of the Nation will be performed on July 10 and will focus on recent political shenanigans that have made headlines.

With an abundance of material to choose from, the show will leave audiences panting with non-stop laughter as the outspoken Gola unpacks the current affairs of the past six months.

Gola will use humour to remind audiences that there’s almost always a lighter side to every serious matter.

The award-winning Marc Lottering will share his best and most memorable stories and anecdotes in My Favourite Stories on July 11.

Featuring a selection of his best work from the past 17 years, Lottering will provide audiences with a comedy overdose and prove why he’s considered one of the country’s best comedians.

Last, but certainly not least, YouTube wonder, Jonathan from RadioRaps will round off the comedy feast with two shows on July 5 and 12 at 3pm.

With a strong fan base, Jonathan is always eager to share tips, from bar etiquette and how to play golf like a pro, to giving love advice.

No under 18s will be permitted into the Lottering, Gola and Rabinowitz shows and parental supervision is advised for Jonathan’s show.

All shows, aside from Jonathan, will start at 8pm.
