Wrapping up Women’s month with a laugh-a-thon, come celebrate outstanding women in comedy with a live stand-up comedy show hosted by award-winning comedian, Wazi M Kunene.
"Women Who Kill“ has been leaving audiences in stitches in Joburg and is finally coming to Cape Town.
The show boasts an ever so diverse and skilfully dope line-up of comedy heavyweights Shimmy Issacs, Kate Pinchuck and Tumi Mkha’.
For the Cape Town leg of “Women Who Kill”, prepare yourselves for an uproarious night. Note, no under 18s allowed, though.
Kunene said: “There are fewer women in stand-up but we are not short of excellent performers, ‘Women Who Kill’ is dope title because this show celebrates women who are skilfully dope.
“Women who are killing funny and fiercely honouring the craft of comedy.
“The show will feature Shimmy Issacs, Kate Pinchuck and Tumi Mkha'. They are seasoned, hilarious and bring out all the different voices we need to hear.
“They are wonderfully creative and it's impossible to have a show in Cape Town and not feature these incredible comics who are leading in stand-up comedy right now.”
The show features different comedians with every pit stop.
Kunene added: “Very soon, all around the country people will be able to say our names and easily tell you about women in comedy and not scratch their heads when the conversation about women in comedy comes up.
She concluded: “This April, I was awarded the Savanna Comic's Choice newcomer of the year award, the first women to win in this category, in the history of the biggest comedy awards in Africa.
“Yes, I am an artist full time, all things comedy-related, and then also a children's book author for Oxford University Press and I've got one children's theatre play for Joburg Theatre, so far.”
Don’t miss this hilarious show on August 30 at 7pm at the Wave Theatre on Long Street.
