Simuka Comedy to debut 'Almost All Divas Comedy Night'

It was about (DAMN!) time the Comedy scene provided a platform for some Killer Comediennes! As you might already know we are within the
‘16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence’.
To commemorate that Simuka Comedy is throwing an
‘Almost All Divas Comedy Night’ to showcase some femme Comedy Talent!
Awesome Right?!
Finally we get to hear what not just women but what ‘Funny’ women have to say!

It should be a blast and it sucks that I won’t be able to make it (Radio duties & what not)!
Performing tomorrow night are Comediennes in training Kessia Masona who will also sing a little something, Wadzanai Chiuriri better known as Black Pearl - an acclaimed poet and *Rubs Hands together* a SACRIFICIAL male comedian.
I really like the ‘sacrificial’ part; do you think there will be any chanting involved??
(Not that I’m into that type of stuff *clears throat*)
There will be an Open Mic Platform for the ladies interested in the funny business and also guys in drag! (I just lied about that part!)
It is clear the gentlemen from Simuka Comedy have finally accepted the inarguable fact that GIRLS DO RUN THE WORLD!
I meant DIVAS run the world!!
And that’s not all as of the 3^rd of December (Tomorrow) Simuka Comedy will be hosting comedy nights at the Book Café every Tuesday. The first Tuesdays there will be another dose of ALMOST All Divas Comedy Night then Open Mic Comedy will be on the second Tuesday of the month and ImprovComedy on the third Tuesday.

Shoko Festival 2013:The low down on how Harare got 'high' on laughter and good vibes!

 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!

It had to be a Selfie!

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
