“ComedyOClockSA”

A stand-up comedy concept born out of the Covid-19 pandemic, “ComedyOClockSA” takes centre stage at the Southern Cape Sun Hotel.

The event is the brainchild of Cape Town-based comedian Pius Xulu.

What started as an online comedy show now sees its first live performance.

This is a big deal for Xulu, as he used to be an employee at Southern Sun Cullinan Hotel and was retrenched during the pandemic.

Xule described it as “a great testimony that at times when other doors shut, they’re really preparing us for bigger and better doors to open”.

The line-up includes Xulu, Shimmy Isaacs, Siya Seya, Mira Hewana, Kolping Mbumba, Mmangaliso Mhlongo and social media sensation Unkle Thobz with DJ RudyRoxx on the decks.

Where: Southern Cape Sun Hotel, 23 Strand Street, Cape Town.

When: May 26.

Cost: R150 via Quicket or R200 at the door.
