Mass Hysteria returns to the Mother City

Nando's presents Mass Hysteria, is heading back to Cape Town after entertaining thousands of comedy fans up north during its Joburg run, to where the real seat of government is: Cape Town's Artscape Theatre.
Mass Hysteria returns to the Mother City

As an unyielding machine of comedy and mockery, the 'Ministers' take on topical issues, pressing concerns and vital government actions and brutally ridicule them. Billed as the 'Government of Comedy', the comedians are each introduced as Ministers of outrageous and fabricated departments, like the 'Minister for Upgrading, Downsizing, Insighting and Outsourcing', and the oh-so-important 'Minister of Ben 10s, YOLO and Homesteads'.

Look forward to a funny night out with the country's top comedy politicians:

  • John Vlismas: Minister of Non-Communicative Diseases
  • Tumi Morake: Minister of Ben 10s, YOLO and Homesteads
  • Alan Committie: Minister for Upgrading, Downsizing, Insighting and Outsourcing
  • Chester Missing: Shadow Puppet Minister*
  • Loyiso Gola: Minister of Sportswear, Emmy Nominations and Australian Affairs
  • Marc Lottering: as Minister of the Cape, Retail Therapy and Statues

The Cape Town show will run from 14 to 25 October at the Artscape Opera House Theatre. Tickets available from Computicket

*Please note that due to availability Conrad Koch/Chester Missing will be performing for a select number of Cape Town show dates up to 20 October. 2015.
