Despite their zero sporting ability, the stand-up show will keep the sport parody alive throughout the tour “fixtures” with each show, or rather “match”, starring the Best in SA Stand-up comedians as “players”, complete with a “coach”, a “captain” and big screens with commentators who will keep the “fans” entertained during “half time”.

Royal Albert Hall

Created by Comedy specialists Hunta Live, Bafunny Bafunny, will make history as the first South African comedy production to be staged at the Royal Albert Hall. The tour will kick-off with an “away game” in London at the Royal Albert Hall on 20 May, 2010, before returning to South Africa to complete the national tour in May and June 2010.

“Nothing unites an audience like laughter and nothing unites a nation more than the ability to laugh at itself. Bafunny Bafunny celebrates everything South African, and how if funny scored goals, we would win every game,” said Sam Hendrikse, executive producer for Hunta Live.

M-Net and Loaded Smoothies have joined The Comedy Team as presenting partners.
