After
ages of reading #Twimbo tweets and Facebook updates about Shoko Festival it was
about time I got in on some #Shoko13 action.
#ComedyNight:
What more could a lover of things have wanted,
a crazy combo of Local and South African ‘funny people’. The adorable but
equally mischievous Clive Chigubhu made a… Comic MC to say the least forcing
guffaws out the burliest men in the audience as he went about calling Zim’s
crazy white boy Jason Le Roux , J.C. Le Roux.
Speaking of which, I could tell
many had to restrain themselves from dancing as Jason mixed up a storm of
sensual Tribal and Electro house music. ZambeziNews was great too though I
could not gather for the life of me why the other guy was reading his lines
from his phone (was it part of the act?). The screening of a parody Hip-Hop-ish
Song “Ballots in a Box” was definitely the highlight of their performance.Comrade Fatso's rapping sounded a whole lot like what imagine Auby K would sound
like if he did rap…%$@*ng Hilarious! (I come in peace).
Simba the Comic King brought in some intellectual
wit on stage to the glee of the smart people audiences’ something about an
infamous sex-tape, popped out of nowhere bringing about roars of laughter. You
had to have been there to get it, as for myself …I shall not speak! Simba made
a brave comment on Tumi Morake’s “bhadunk bhadunk” which…erm...(more of that
later!)
‘Zimbabwe’s Biggest Comedian’, Carl Joshua Ncube
was as entertaining as ever as he hinted that trials for a CJN Junior are
underway (adorable right?!).
He paved the way for my dormant crush KagisoLediga (because it had only occurred to me I was crushing a she walked on
stage) who’s satire was top notch. What’s a South African Comic without a
Madiba impersonation right?!
(The video will be on my YouTube page soon)
I really wish I had recorded the Thabantsho
equivalent of Pandora’s box that appeared next.
Tumi Morake’s performance was
by far my most favourite, probably because I am a woman. The very pregnant
Comedienne managed to get the guys in the audience rather hot around the collar
in more ways than one. By the end of her set I knew the supposed size of her
husband’s junk, how freaky she was in bed, what kind of car she drives, how often she pays attention in church and
how her husband’s sperms are ‘super sperms’. Yeah, I’m not (much of) a pervert
but it was refreshing to have a confident African woman on a stage telling the
world hey, I love sex, I love most of myself and I’m not ashamed to say it! And
hey I’m a sucker for big girl power so Go #TeamBigGirls! Ah yes speaking of
which Tumi was not amused at Simba’s calling out her ehem..’Lady Lumps’ …I
shall not speak!

Unlike a previous show in the capital, the
patrons were polite enough to ‘ask’ for photo-mpikitsha-card-snapshots and got
their groupie on! Well you know what they say…if you can’t beat them….#TSKC
