From Africa With Laugh brings together a collection of talented stand up comics from our continent, commenting on everything from current affairs in our own country to the small matter of a little world cup-all with an African perspective.
Three talented African stand up comedians will entertain audiences nightly throughout the World Cup, from 8 June till 3 July, with special appearances from SA's own Lungi Pinda, best known for his role in Mike van Graan's hilarious play, Bafana Republic.
To mark 50 years of independence in 17 African countries and the first time that the FIFA World Cup is hosted in Africa, the African Arts Institute (AFAI) will host From Africa with Laugh at the Baxter Theatre, with comedians and satirists giving their views on life, love and football on the African continent.
From Africa with Laugh previews on 9 June and runs till 3 July, mostly at 20:15 but at 18:00 on some evenings to take account of matches in Cape Town. Visit www.baxter.co.za for show details and tickets cost from R70 to R90 via Computicket.
