Jeff Dunham to tour South Africa in June

Jeff Dunham, who shot to fame with his character Achmed the Dead Terrorist, is returning to tour South Africa with new characters and brand new material. He will be playing in Cape Town, Durban, Sun City and Joburg between 5 and 14 June, 2012.

Dunham has, of course, plenty of help on stage: his entourage of signature characters who are there to challenge and chastise his every sentence. There's Walter, the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving and resolutely redneck Bubba J; the furry and manic Peanut; José Jalapeño, the spicy pepper from south of the border; and the bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

Ticket sales are now open. All bookings are through Computicket (www.computicket.com or by calling +27 (0)83 915 8000.
