WHAT started off as a once-off show exploded to more than 25 sold-out shows across the country and propelled its star, the enigmatic and charismatic Karou Charou, to national and international prominence.
Kama Sutra, via its sold-out shows, has been an unprecedented success and raised the bar as far as Indian adult comedy was concerned. While the ‘conservative’ Indian community felt they were not ready for such material, the thousands who flocked through the theatre doors sent out a clear message: the market was evolving, with a new generation of theatre/comedy-lovers, and it is this new generation who are eagerly awaiting the sequel, Kama Sutra 2.
Karou Charou, who endeared himself to the masses via his trademark outfits, dark sunglasses, bling and high-octane, energetic comedy routines, will once again take centre stage as he takes his audience on a 90-minute journey of discovery, tackling many aspects of sex and sexuality.
As was the case with Kama Sutra, the sequel promises to be educational, but you can rest assured that the ‘turbaned one’, with his combination of slide shows, interesting props and toilet humour, will have you wheezing with laughter.
The show is rated adults only, and Karou said that being over 18 does not necessarily qualify you as an adult. He is also adamant that sensitive people should stay at home.
Catch Karou Charou at iZulu Theatre at Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom from Friday, 13 to Sunday, 15 March. Shows times are 8pm on Friday and Saturday and at 3pm on Sunday. Tickets range from R80 to R150 each and are available through Computicket, Shoprite or Checkers outlets.
