Kit Kat Live Comedy in Cape Town, Durban and Joburg
The Johannesburg line-up is:
- Darren “Whackhead” Simpson, the comedian and radio and television personality best known for his morning radio pranks on 94.7 Highveld Stereo's Rude Awakening show, and for co-presenting the M-Net comedy prank show Laugh Out Loud and presenting the M-Net show Clipz.
- Ndumiso Lindi, who hails from the Eastern Cape and has tickled ribs from Cape Town to London. His material is based on everyday life, the things that surround us, how we differ as people and how unique black people can be, especially the new generation.
- The headline acts are Joey Rasdien and Trevor Noah, two of South Africa's best-known and loved young comics.
Rasdien is one of South Africa's most versatile comedic performers, and is a favourite on stage, television, in advertising and in movies. He recently added music to his repertoire, with the hit Make the Circle Bigger.
Noah has quickly established himself as one of South Africa's most popular stand-up comedians. His attributes as a comedian - sharp wit, intelligent commentary, unmistakable charm and clinical delivery - have made him an audience favourite everywhere.
The Cape Town line-up is:
- Dave Levinsohn, who says he was born in Springs but that he's okay now, is well-known for his off-the-wall re-examination of everyday topics, as well as his ability to improvise when interacting with the crowd. He has a knack for finding the right tone and pitches his humour at a level that everyone can appreciate, without being offensive.
- Paul Snodgrass, whose high-energy performances have had audiences all over South Africa rolling in the aisles, and who counts among his achievements a rave performance at the Edinburgh Arts Festival.
- Colin Moss, the much-loved actor, reality TV show presenter and comedian. Moss started his career as a stand-up comic, in order to make money for toothpaste, beer and petrol.
Comedy is a lifelong passion and he regularly works the comedy circuit - both locally, and in the UK and Ireland. - Trevor Noah, who will headline the show.
The Durban line-up is:
“We have a great line-up of comics at all the venues, and audiences are in for a festival of side-splitting, thigh-slapping laughs,” said Kit kat brand manager Gregory Tabane.
