Cape Town South Africa

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.

Swan Lake on Ice at the Artscape Theatre is an experience no one that is interested in theatre should miss. Spectacular skating, beautiful music and awe inspiring styling, this show has long been anticipated as one of the biggest, Cape Town has seen in a while. The leads in the production are heart warming and build up affection with the audience throughout. Plus, guys, you won’t be a wuss for going to watch this one, in fact you’ll definately score brownie points for treating your lady to something fresh and romantic.

This is a Pieter Toerien production (famed for shows like ‘Defending the Caveman’) and the professionalism shines through.
