At last we get to use our Chris Rock photo
It’s not the first time he’s been in SA, we were *so chuffed* to get up close to our favourite comedian at the opening of Oprah’s school last year… We also watched his movie “I think I love my wife” the other day and loved it… you got to admit it, Chris… Rocks.
SO DON’T MISS HIS UPCOMING SHOW IN SA – The tours’ Facebook group tells us he’s back in Africa this June… “Comedy legend and multi – Emmy and Grammy Award winner, Chris Rock, tours South Africa for the first time as part of his “No Apologies” world tour. Described by Time Magazine as “The Funniest Man in America”, this show promises to be the highlight of the 2008 South African Comedy Calendar.” Dates:
Cape Town 4 June
Johannesburg 6 June – Carnival City
Get to computicket fast. Good luck.
Here’s a quote from his interview with Vanity Fair on his visit to SA in 2005:
“Driving the streets of Johannesburg can be a little depressing. Everywhere you looked, there were H.I.V.-testing signs up. The traffic lights flashed green, yellow, and then a picture of a syringe. As we continued to drive through Johannesburg, I kept looking for a sign that would connect me to my African brethren—something that would indicate that we were all one. Finally I saw it: the biggest Kentucky Fried Chicken I’d ever seen. As I marveled at the Eighth Wonder of the World, I also remembered seeing K.F.C. when I went to Jamaica the previous year. There was also one when I went to Haiti. Their slogan should be “Wherever black people are, we’re not far.”
