“BrainOu – BrainOu” returns to Emperors Palace on October 29, 2016 with another stellar line-up of ‘proudly coloured’ comedians.
For one night only, these comedians will share insights from a uniquely coloured perspective, taking diverse audiences on a hilarious journey of what it actually means to be a coloured in South Africa.
“No swearing allowed”, the show promises loads of family friendly fun and endless bouts of laughter.
Taking the lead as MC for the evening is Kurt Schoonraad, one of South Africa’s most recognised stand-up comedians. Hailing from Mitchell’s Plain, which was highly influential in developing his sense of humour, Schoonraad is well-versed in all things “coloured”.
No stranger to the comedic industry, colourful personality – and headliner for the night – Joey Rasdien has earned the title of “The Thinking Man’s Comedian” – his comedy is thought-provoking and intellectual.
Roni Modimola is a regular at major comedy venues across the country. Known for his dry but witty comedy style, Roni adds a slice of charm to this year’s line-up and is sure to keep the audience glued to their seats.
Comics Choice Award winner for “Newcomer of the Year 2015”, Farhan Esat, will add a burst of energy to the coloured comedy crusade. The Zimbabwean born Esat made his professional debut in 2014 and has become a regular performer on the local stage. He opened for Riaad Moosa’s “Best of Riaad Moosa” shows in Lenasia, and has performed at prestigious venues across the country.
Another Mitchell’s Plain native, Mel Jones describes herself as “the favourite” of three siblings. As one of only a handful of female comedians in the country, the award nominated comedian continues to uplift and inspire young people in coloured communities in Cape Town and similar surroundings.
From Durban, Proudly Coloured Comedy welcomes Neil Green, a rising star in the SA comedy scene. His sharp wit, commanding stage presence and honest take on life is the driving force behind his success and a good reason to see the show. The man has jokes for days…
Last but not least, fresh on the comedy scene is Andrew Hughes. When asked what his aim on comedy is, he commented that it’s not to be the best but rather to identify what makes you different from the rest and to capitalise on that…
