Laugh a minute

Amongst the best was our own Trevor Noah (catch him until 30 July) who not only captured the essence of South Africa's most well known icons but also brought a fine comedic touch to members of the audience. A tip however is don't be late, he is merciless in highlighting late arrivals.

Personally, I found the best to be Pablo Francisco, who introduced South African audiences to his classic karaoke impersonations and the wonderful Movie Man voice - his range and speed of delivery gave no one a chance to catch their breath. To see an audience literally rocking back and forwards with laughter is a rare sight. Catch the act including Bobby Lee, Kira Soltanovich and Eugene Khoza at Monte until 1 August and note that the age restriction of 16 is probably advisable.
