THE ROAD TO BWAHAHA

THE ROAD TO BWAHAHA

While government ministers shuffle faster than a deck of cards at a swingers party, judges are redeployed as car guards and convicted criminals lead Justice towards the boudoir using the secrecy bill as a condom… the only way to describe the general mood in SA’s halls of power is… “Mass Hysteria.” – from the chaotic ruins of SA politics rises a new hope. The countries finest comedy performers stand up and take the reins. If comedy had a government, this would be it: DeVries, Morake, Lindi, Rasdien, Missing, Rabinowitz, Schoonraad, Vlismas, & Modikoane join forces to bring this country just what it needs – The Road To Bwahaha. A stand-up comedy show like no other – all headliners, one stage, and no prisoners. “This is the will of the people,” says Minister of Offence, John Vlismas, “they are tired of being told about service delivery, so we are going out to the people, and doing material delivery. Our government is working overtime to write comedy, the least we can do is share it out amongst the people.” Each minister will address the nation in accordance with their mandate at such appropriate platforms as Johannesburg, Cape Town and The Port Of Elizabeth in due course, and with all protocol observed. Screamingly funny, seamlessly staged – this show has a bigger budget than lunch at Nkandla, more full chairs than Parliament and less jokes than Dina Pule’s defence team… ladies and gentlemen of South Africa, rise up as one and book at Computicket – Viva Haha Viva! The following ministers will be performing at Mass Hysteria 2013 (Check Computicket to see which ministers will be addressing your city): Casper De Vries – Minister of Science Fiction, Internet and Miniseries. Mpho Modikoane – Minister of Youth. Joey Rasdien – Minister of Religion and Evolution. Ndumiso Lindi – Roosta In Chief Chester Missing – Minister Of Nik Naks, Guilty Whites and Latex.
