South African Comedy... at it's best


Last year I attended the National Arts Festival. The festival will be held in Grahamstown from the 29th of June right through until the 8th of July. Last year I got to meet many new faces in this little town I find myself studying in, and also enjoyed some of the shows! Like this one, Defending the Laid Man by stand-up comedian David Newton. He is scheduled to release the show on DVD on the 10th of June, which should be really cool. It's a good present for the upcoming Father's Day. And this year he's back, and ready to roll with a new show, "Is it just me?". In David's words:

"I invite you to take a walk through my mind and have a look around...My new stand-up show: "Is It Just Me??" is a look at modern pop culture and current events as understood by the warped mind of a stand-up comic. The more I look and try to understand the more I ask the question. "Is it just me (who sees it like this)??"

Do yourselves a favour, go check him out. By the sounds of things, it's destined to be an instant hit!
