ORMONDE – The side-splittingly funny comedy show, 99% Zulu Comedy opens its nationwide 10th Anniversary tour at The Lyric at Gold Reef City on March 26 and 27.
Seven professional comedians from KZN and Jozi are including in the line-up, and the first night’s show will be MC’d by Tol A$$ Mo AKA Mongezi Ngcobondwane, who needs no introduction.
Like many comedians who have gone on to become household names in this country, Tall Mo is a comedian from a humble township upbringing mixed with Model C education. It’s this dichotomy from which he draws most of his hilarious material that has made him a very interesting comedian.
He has been featured on shows such as The Homecoming Comedy Tour, The Aromat Comedy Tour, Just Because Comedy Festival, Tshwane Comedy Festival, 99% Zulu and Xhosa Comedy, Blacks Only and many others.
He is unquestionably a rising star in the ranks. Accompanied by a youthful and charming exuberance and a fresh and unique perspective on his comedy repertoire, it’s hard to imagine Tol Mo not becoming a bona fide comedy heavyweight in the future. Tol Mo has become one of South Africa’s well known comedians within a short period. He was nominated in the best newcomer category at the first Comic Choice Awards 2011.
Tol A$$ Mo will be joined on stage, among others, by Sifiso Nene, Skhumba Hlophe – who will MC the second night. Other performers include Simphiwe Shembe; Tsoro, Qatha Khuzwayo and Smokey Nyembe.
The 99% Zulu Comedy is the only live vernacular stand-up comedy show, and prides itself as being the widest travelling production countrywide above any other show in South Africa.
Tickets cost from R180 and bookings can be made at Computicket or The Lyric Box Office on 011 248 5000 or www.goldreefcity.co.za
