MASS HYSTERIA for Grandwest This Weekend, 8/16-8/17
by BWW News Desk - August 13, 2013
When 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: De Vries, Lindi, Rasdien, Missing, Schoonraad, Vlismas and Modikoane join forces to take South Africa just where it needs to be: on the road To bwahaha. This is a stand-up comedy show like no other - all headliners, one stage, and no prisoners.
