It's no secret that Durban loves its comedy, with most stand-up comedy shows being sellouts, the people just crave more. With this in mind, organizers of the popular Kings and Queens of Comedy show have got big news for Durban comedy lovers in 2018. With Durban being one the biggest audiences for the comedy brand, they have now extended the line up, with next years being the biggest in six years to ever grace the show! Audiences will be glad to know that most of their favourites will be returning to the stage for this one night only comedy festival along with some popular new ones as well. The show takes place on the 9th of February 2018 and tickets are on sale via Computicket. 

Shining their comical armour and sharpening their witty swords, the stellar line-up includes Darren Maule (MC), Annalakshmi, Arnotte Payne, Celeste Ntuli, Donvan Goliath, Glen Biederman-Pam, Jason Goliath, Joey Rasdien, Khanyisa Banu, Leeandra Reddy, Logie Naidoo, Marc Lottering, Riaad Moosa, Rory Petzer, Sagie Murugan and Safiso Nene, with a guest appreance by Morgan Beatbox. 

"We pride ourselves on bringing world-class South African comedians to stages around the country. You are getting a massive line-up of headliner comedians from start to finsh. We've picked the cream of the crop and we're excited to bring an even bigger and better Kings and Queens of Comedy to Durban in 2018" - comments Osman Osman, MD of Blu Blood.

A name that locals might be excited to see there is former deputy mayor Logie Naidoo, now retired from the world of politics, Naidoo has chosen comedy as a second career. Politicians often provide comics with plenty of material, which means that Durban's socialite politician, Loganathan (Logie) Naidoo, should have no problem with getting the crowd going by adding an interesting colourful twist to the nights hilarities.

With a line-up like that, the show is bound to be one of the best ones yet, so don't miss the Kings and Queens of Comedy, 9 February 2018 at the Durban ICC. Tickets from R185 and are available through Computicket online and the various retail outlets. The show starts at 8pm and is rated PG16. 

Never Ending Comedy Tour with Darren Maule

Tonight see's one of Durban's most loved radio personalities hit the stage as part of his Never Ending Comedy Tour. Darren Maule is no stranger to South African comedy, having first met him 4 years ago on a different comedy tour at Sibaya Casino, at the time he was still residing in Joburg but it was clearly evident that Darren loved Durban and not long after that he moved to Durban to start a career on the local Radio station ECR hosting the East Coast Breakfast show. 

The Never Ending Comedy Tour with Darren Maule features  him as the MC together with a different line-up each month of 3 to 4 local and national comedians on stage for one night only in different venues around KZN. After performing at the Wild Coast not long ago, tonight sees the show return to the Durban Country club and features Magic Man, Martin Jonas, Rory Petzer and Logie Naidoo.

"The idea is to take quality comedy to different venues all over KZN to people who want a good night out at a good price. Not everybody can, or wants to, travel far to see a show, but everybody does want a laugh and comedians love what they do - so we've put the two together!" say Maule

KZN in general is lagging behind in the comedy scene with it seeing some ups but many downs over the years and this is the perfect platform to kick start the local comedy scene. We've generated some top talent in stand up, the likes of John Vlismis, Simmi Areff, Angel Campey and Robbie Williams to name a few, so with this Tour it will give opportunities to local comedians to shine and Maule's business manager Claire Clark had this to add "Another exciting part of this initiative is that on 'open mic' spot per venue will give an aspiring local comic the chance to perform on stage as part of the line up"

Tonight's show takes place at the Waterman Bar at the Durban Country Club on Isaiah Ntshangase Road, Durban. Tickets are R100 and are available on Computicket, show starts at 8pm so don't be late!
