Less than a month until The Big 5 Comedy Show

In less than a month five of South Africa’s most formidable comedians will descend on Port Elizabeth for The Big 5 Comedy Show at the Boardwalk Amphitheatre on 10 June 2017. In the star studded lineup are Barry Hilton, Jason Goliath, Stuart Taylor, Joey Rasdien and Nik Rabinowitz, together with the legendary DJ Ready D rocking the decks.

The Big 5 Comedy Show has been a comedy sensation both in Cape Town and recently in Joburg, and its debut in The Bay is not to be missed. Tickets are available at Computicket. The show is rated 16 and older.

“South Africa’s big five comics all on one stage for one night only. Brace yourself for the funniest show of the year and the biggest laughs you’ll have this winter,” says Siphokazi, the PR and Promotions Manager at The Boardwalk.

With sets that are never vulgar, malicious nor mean of spirit, but always funny, Hilton is known to several generations as a gentleman comic and a master craftsman with flawless timing, an unpredictable hairline and a gaze that doesn’t miss a thing.

Goliath is a larger than life comedian who literally is larger than life. With a commanding stage presence and ridiculous amounts of energy, he has the uncanny ability to make his audiences laugh at life’s uncomfortable truths.

Taylor, well known for his role as presenter on SABC’s travel show, Going Nowhere Slowly, is renowned for his fusion of comedy and magic. Over the years, he has performed locally and abroad at major comedy festivals and his comedy productions such as Learner Husband, Techni-Coloured and Money’s too Tight To Mention have sold out at venues around South Africa.

Rated one of South Africa’s comedic heavyweights, Rasdien is also a seasoned television actor and also a star of several local films. His characteristic style of understating the social, political, moral and ethical questions facing everyone today in his effortless way has made him a favourite amongst comedy fans.

Rabinowitz who refers to himself as the ‘world’s leading Xhosa-speaking Jewish comedian’, has been a staple on the local comedy scene for years. He is also known for his radio show The Week that Wasn't which aired on Talk Radio 702 and Cape Talk, and has successfully produced a string of one man shows.
