Bend it like Beauty
Ben Voss returns as Beauty Ramapelepele in a show at L’Aperitivo Venue.
CATCH Ben Voss in Bend it Like Beauty comedy on Friday 11 July at L’Aperitivo Venue, 9 Aurora Drive, Umhlanga Ridge, Durban, at 7pm.
Radio personality, writer and comic sensation Ben Voss is back with his razor-sharp, motor mouth alter-ego Beauty Ramapelepele in Bend It Like Beauty.
As the gap between Africa and the West widens, Beauty is torn between the capitalist trappings of western society and the familiar traditions of her home, South Africa. She has strengthened her ANC ties and at the same time taken an all expenses first class trip with the department of tourism to showcase Africa to the old colonial foe, England.
In Bend it Like Beauty South Africa’s loudmouth sears the colonizer she is trying to impress and skewers the ailing colony she is tired of living in. With vitriolic candor she dishes out her verdict on her trip to the United Kingdom and what it is like to be an African abroad.
Funny, fiery and fresh, Bend It Like Beauty has played in London for a three week season and has toured South Africa, and The National Arts Festival in Grahamstown where Bend it Like Beauty won an Ovation Award for Best Comedy. If you can’t catch her on stage, Beauty can be heard live on both East Coast Radio and Jacaranda FM.
Cost is R250, which includes an Italian aperitivo. To book contact 072 947 3804 or email: info@abruzzo.co.za
