DJ Ready D will be on the decks at The Big 5 Comedy Show which sees the popular Big 5 comedy legends appearing live in Cape Town. Yes, Jason Goliath, John Vlismas, Joey Rasdien, Stuart Taylor and Tumi Morake all team up for a comedy blast on Saturday, 13 October 2018 at the Grand Arena.
Big 5 Comedy Show founder and comedian Stuart Taylor says this “is as rare a spotting as the Big 5 itself. Seeing a line-up of comics of this calibre performing together is extraordinary, and is also made up of comics with diverse performance styles – ensuring that there is truly something for everyone.”
A uniquely African concept
Taylor says that whenever he performs outside of SA, audiences always comment that South African comics tend to have a unique perspective on the world. “SA comedy is seen as a new, interesting alternative option to American and British humour.
“I started toying with the idea to showcase our uniquely SA comedic style in the rest of the world, but would need to trial the concept first in SA. I gave it a lot of thought and started thinking about the comics I’d want to work with. The name Big 5 popped up as a uniquely African concept that is known around the world, and has very positive connotations. The rest, as they say, is history.”
The show, which was founded in 2016, has grown in leaps and bounds. “For the event in October, you don’t only get 5 big names on one big stage, but we’re also creating an experience second to none. A beautiful set, an award-winning lighting designer and an award-winning DJ all work together to create a show that is world class and uniquely South African,” adds Taylor.
The Big 5 Comedy Show is proudly supported by Comedy Central Africa and Heart FM. PG16.
