THE CHESTER MISSING ROAD SHOW - Chester Missing & Conrad Koch - photo C Podium

The Blacks Only Comedy Show is bringing non-stop laughter to Cape Town with ‘The Bling-Bling Tour’ at GrandWest’s Grand Arena on Friday, 04 October 2013. 

Featuring South Africa’s most funny and acclaimed stand-up comedians, the audience will be treated to much hilarity and great silliness from Marc Lottering, Conrad Koch , Jason Goliath, Skhumba, KG, Thapelo ‘Tips’ Shampoo and Tumi Morake. 

David Kau will lead the line-up as the MC for the tour, a task he was given nine years ago at the first ‘The Blacks Only Comedy Show’.. With favourite Capetonian Marc Lottering on stage, the audience can expect to be on the receiving end of a lot of earthy local humour.

Conrad Koch aka  Chester Missing, a political analyst and weekly columnist with award-winning news site ZA News, has broken new comic ground with his outrageous, hard-hitting, frank and downright hilarious interviews with South Africa’s political elite. 

His interviewees include the ANC’s Gwede Mantashe, COSATU’s Zwelinzima Vavi, COPE’s Mosiuoa Lekota, UDM’s Bantu Holomisa, the DA’s Helen Zille, Cape Town’s executive mayor Patricia De Lille and many others. 

Tumi Morake remains one of our funniest female comedians, and her razor sharp wit cuts her victims down to very, very small sizes. She joins the tour on her return from the UK, where she performed at

 The Edinburgh Festival.

The show starts at 8pm and tickets are available from R211 at Computicket

        SWING CITY with Nathan Ro, Graeme Watkins and Loyiso Bala

Date                Friday 6 September 2013

Time                20h00

Venue              Carnival City Mardi Gras Theatre - Brakpan

Tickets             R100 from the door

The three talented and ultra-cool entertainers from the show Swing City will transport you to the era of swing music and big bands when they perform at the Carnival City Mardi Gras Theatre in Brakpan on Friday 6 September.

Individually Nathan Ro, Graeme Watkins and Loyiso Bala enjoy successful careers in the entertainment industry. Drawn together by their love of swing music, Frank Sinatra and Robbie Williams, they decided to join forces to start a swing band and the result is Swing City.

Nathan’s music career took off when he was runner-up in Project Fame and he subsequently formed well known band Lonehill Estate.  The band went on to record three albums, garner a SAMA nomination, achieve three No 1 hits on 5fm and perform internationally in Los Angeles and Montreux. Isidingo fans will also need no introduction to Nathan, who has performed on the successful soap drama for two years.

By contrast, Graeme is a Theatre and Performance graduate from UCT who chose to follow a career in music, forming a swing trio entitled Its a Swing Thing. He was a runner up in Idols and then formed the successful band The Graeme Watkins Project which has since received two SAMA nominations so far.

Popular Loyiso Bala, the third Ace in the pack needs little or no introduction. Part of the family group The Bala Brothers, Loyiso has enjoyed an equally successful solo career, including the most played song of 2009, I Want You.

Swing City features the three vocalists backed by a live jazz band. This sexy combo delivers a celebration of all things jazz, swing and blues, but adding their own modern day twist.

Swing fans can expect to hear classics such as Mack the Knife, Mr Bojangles, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, Come Fly With Me, Fever, For Once In My Life, Me and My Shadow  and many more of your favourites.

The show starts at 20h00 and tickets are available from the door at R100 each.
