Cape Town South Africa

Great tip-off from Cape Town Magazine: If you’re in the Table View area tonight, 25 September 2009, go to Stones where local rockers Van Coke Kartel will be performing. The cover charge for this fabulous concert/party event is… all of NOTHING!

That’s right, entrance is free. No catch.

This benevolence forms part of Stones Table View’s "Down with the Recession" parties taking place every Friday night during September - which makes tonight the final freebie event. Stones is also running some of the biggest bar specials to coincide with these parties. The crew at Stones is apparently of the belief (like we are!) that you should not have to break the bank in order to have a great time.

Stones Table View is located on the first floor of Blaauwberg Mall which is located on the corner of Blaauwberg & Marine Drive in Table View.

The lucky thirteenth annual Cape Town Comedy Festival - this year sponsored by that chicken franchise with the funny ads, Nando’s - is taking place until the 4th of October 2009 at the Baxter Theatre in Rondebosch.

The event is the largest comedy project in Africa and among the top five comedy festivals in the world! Therefore it is definitely to be taken… well… seriously.

But there will be plenty to laugh about too. South Africa’s favourite comedians, along with some international stand-up comics such as Canada’s Angelou Tsarouchas and Kira Soltanovich from the USA, will surely have audiences doubling up with mirth courtesy of their professional wit.

According to Cape Town Magazine, the festival’s success can be attributed to the fact that it tries to cater to everyone’s taste by incorporating a number of unique features with separate programmes. 

Ticket prices are a laughable R100 - R150. For more info, call 021-685-7880.
