South African comedy legend Mark Banks is back – and this time he is going for broke in his new one-man show called Banksrupt! which comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre in Durban from 6 to 24 November.
After several years of working on the biggest comedy line-up shows in South Africa, Banks makes a triumphant return, having performed at The Royal Albert Hall, the Hammersmith Apollo and the PE Opera House.
Banksrupt! has been years in the making and in consultation with two wise men, a babbling gnome and Kobus Wiese, the show promises to be his greatest comedy work yet!
“The title is about where we are as a nation – we’re broke – financially, morally and mentally and I want to sketch out the villains behind this sorry state we’re in, obviously with a tongue-in-cheek flavour to keep it interesting,” says Banks.
The show, which is being produced by Whacked: Special Project, incorporates stand-up, sketch and video, making this one comedy show not-to-be-missed!
Shows are Wednesday to Friday starting at 7:30pm; Saturday at 2:30pm and 7:30pm; and Sunday at 6pm. The show carries an age restriction of no under 13s.
Tickets cost R100 per person and can be made through Computicket.
