But wait. There’s more.

Two people can win a set of double tickets each to the show if you correctly answer this question:

• What was the name of the 2005 movie that Riaad Moosa appeared in? (Hint: Benoni is in the title)

Correct answers must be emailed to sheinar@caxton.co.za by September 16 with ‘I have the Benoni answer’ in the subject line.

The email must contain the name, surname and contact details of the entrant.

Numerous entries from the same entrant will only be considered once in the random draw for the winners.

About the comedians:

• As an award-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter, Riaad Moosa is one of South Africa’s most popular and acclaimed funny men – and he happens to be a qualified medical doctor too.

He certainly seems to have the remedy for the nation’s ills – a healthy dose of laughter, straight up – and hold the aspirin.

• Dillan Oliphant has in a short amount of time grown from a fresh-faced novice to making waves nationally with his dead-pan-one-liner comedy.

His stage presence makes his unnervingly clever jokes accessible to all audiences.

• Joey Rasdien is instantly recognisable. His endearing stage persona is intellectually absurd, physically hysterical and thought-provoking.

He not only makes you laugh but makes you think as well.

• Teacher-turned-comedienne, Khanyisa Bunu is a fan favourite.

She was the first woman to win the audience choice award at the Comics’ Choice Awards and has also made her mark on SA TV with roles in Scandal and Ses’Top La.

• M Loyiso Madinga’s career has been on the fast track since he started out in 2012 and has since shared stages around the globe with local and international comedians alike.

He may be from a small village, but Loyiso is proving to be a force to be reckoned with.

• Known as the ‘King of Indian Comedy’, Muthu Murugan has been wowing audiences for many years. Sharp-tongued and witty, Muthu will bring some Durban flavour to Johannesburg.

• Robby Collins started out as a lanky, long-limbed actor on the Durban Theatre circuit and has become a comedian of high acclaim.

The sincerity of Robby’s material is matched only by that of his stage presence, seeking out the funny in otherwise painful experiences.

• Schalk Bezuidenhout, the talent as sweet as mother’s milk and with a skop as powerful as brandy, is not your run-of-the-mill comedian.

His refreshing approach to comedy explores his conservative upbringing and his current liberal outlook on life.

• Simmi Areff was rated one of the top up-and-coming comedians in the country. This much-loved comedian started his career while completing his journalism degree.

Having toured extensively around the country, Simmi’s witty tongue-in-cheek comedy has made him a strong contender in the industry.
