New York comedian Wil Sylvince will be the headline act at The Cape Town Comedy Club from Wednesday 26 to Sunday 30 July. Sylvince then heads to Johannesburg (in August) to open for Trevor Noah in his new show, Trevor Noah Live. In 2015, the comedian also opened for Trevor in NationWILD, and has also appeared at the Comedy Central International Comedy Festival.
Sylvince’s comedic performances have been seen on Comedy Central, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and Showtime, these got standing ovations by audiences – a feat rarely seen accomplished by many performers.
New York comedy clubs
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Sylvince has honed his act in New York’s top comedy clubs – the Comedy Cellar, Comic Strip Live, Caroline’s on Broadway, Stand-Up NY and the Gotham Comedy Club. His perspectives on political and social issues, and the additional twist of his West Indian Haitian culture makes him a comedian in high demand. As a result, he has been hand-picked for tours by comedy heavyweights like Damon Wayans, D.L. Hughley, Wayans Brothers, Katt Williams and Gabriel Iglesias.
Wil will be joined on stage by the following comedians each night: Lungelo Ndlovu, Lindy Johnson and MC’s Stuart Taylor (Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday) and Al Prodgers from Johannesburg (Thursday and Friday). As usual, the line-up is always subject to change.
The club operates as a dinner theatre and has a full restaurant and bar available.
