Get ready for four weeks of riotous laughter, as the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival returns to the Mother City this winter.
Now in its 25th year , the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival is the Mother City's most popular comedy festival, attracting a line-up of international and local comics to the stage of the Baxter Theater in Rondebosch.
Over the years the Funny Festival has hosted the likes of comedy giants including Trevor Noah, Tumi Morake, Nik Rabinowitz, Alan Committie, Jimmy Carr, Lee Mac, Paul Zerdin and Nina Conti.
This year's festival runs from June 10 – July 7, and tickets (R150-R210) are available now via Webtickets .
A highlight of this year's silver jubilee run will be the return of hilarious musical maestro and classical comedic pianist Kev Orkian, while American star funnyman Mario Queen of the Circus takes a break from his world tour to perform in Cape Town.
Across the four-week festival audiences can look forward to the musical comedy of South Africa's most talented performing brothers, Emo and Loukmaan Adams, while MC Alan Committie will have you rolling in the aisles.
Alongside these stars, expect a roster of the country's leading comics on the bill, from locals Dalin Oliver, Kagiso KG Mokgadi and Yaaseen Barnes, while Joburg brings the talents of Khanyisa Bunu, Sifiso Nene and Dillan Oliphant.
