The common adjective many used to describe the June event of the African Comedy show was ‘very funny’. Undeniably, many people laughed till they could literally laugh no more. The show was that good. What was funny? The comedians were. They were top class, their jokes were every day ordinary jokes with twists and turns that brought the giggles from everybody - even those who at first who kept a blank face cracked up eventually.
It was not all about jokes though, there was a raffle draw which resulted in a man winning return tickets from the United Kingdom to an African destination of choice courtesy Ethiopian Airlines. There were traditional and modern dance troupes and different flavours of singing and rap. Hot meals and drinks were sold on site which meant you could come from work and have your dinner at the Hippodrome. On the whole, it is fair to say that the organisers of the show left no stones unturned with the star cast of entertainers and their organisation.
What is even more important is that the comedians were from a variety of African countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia only to name a few. It is not Nigerian comedy, it is African comedy. The show is also educational as the entertainers whilst talking about their countries, inform, educate and entertain at the same time. A definite plus for pan Africanism. This is why the African Comedy Show is different. It embraces the African theme as a simple show off of everything that is beautiful, funny and perfect about Africa and her people in the diaspora.
The African Comedy Show starts promptly at 7.30pm every second Friday of the month and the show carries on with an interval till 10.30pm. The African Comedy Show is an event to which you can invite your friends, lovers, colleagues at work and indeed, the entire family. They will love it. One tends to love the people they laugh with more, or don’t they?
The next show is on Friday 11th of July, 2014 at the Hippodrome in Golders Green, North London. Nigerian comedian Gordon, South Africa’s Barry Hilton, Zambia’s Kasenge and many more will be there. The question is are you? For tickets call: 07404115228.
