Discover the secret origin of Krump dancing
Ever wondered where Krump dancing originated? Ever wondered what Krump dancing is? Comedian Donovan Goliath has the answers – and he will be sharing them in The Boardwalk’s new Action Bar from eight thirty in the evening on Friday, June 8.
Goliath will be joined by Mpho "Popps" Modikoane. He first hit the stage in “So you think you funny,” going on to perform with comedians such as Trevor Noah and Marc Lottering, and receiving standing ovations in “Blacks Only”.
Now, it’s the turn of comedy lovers in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The answer to Krump dancing, of course – is that “it started right here in South Africa”, according to Goliath. Goliath has played to packed houses at festivals such as the Tshwane Comedy Nights at the State Theatre, and Blacks Only.
The Boardwalk Action Bar will become the new home of national comedians every Friday night featuring some of South Africa’s funniest comedians. Friday nights at the newly opened Action Bar will not be the same again when people fall over the seats with laughter. To start the weekend on a good note, get down the Action Bar to be entertained by comedians with DJ Pete Larkin spinning his decks straight after the laughter at 22h00 and entry is free.

He has performed with the Joe Parker’s Improv Express and The Starship Improvise for over nine years, and has given talks on comedy to Toastmasters South Africa and Mensa.

Mother Vivienne, with her graceful yet stylish dancing, Oscar, with his hip hop and short stop comedy and Kasvia with her big belting voice – a truly entertaining combination.
The Von Memerty family performance started because Ocar and Kasvia (the kids) thought it was unfair that their parents could work together and leave them out so Ian gave them the opportunity to perform in a family performance and the audience went ballistic to say the least.
