Celebrating a year
NAM Comedy Circle celebrates its first anniversary this coming Wednesday.
STAFF REPORTER
On this special occasion two well-known faces within the NAM Comedy circle will be featured - Big Mich and Lifa.
A relatively new personality, Zita Nghilengwa, adds a female touch to the line-up. All this takes place at the Hilton Hotel in Windhoek, on the cosy and heated balcony of the Kalabar.
Nghilengwa is a natural performer. Her first love is dance and choreography. Viewers of videos by hip-hop and R&B artists will knowingly or unknowingly have witnessed some of her work within the genre. Nghilengwa brings into the arena female issues, womanly aspirations, feminine charm and girl power. Female topics are rarely dissected by men, with their shortcomings in terms of filtering. So beware, those who claim to belong to the so-called stronger sex, and listen up as Nghilengwa makes a point of coaching audience members in the higher art of dating.
Big Mich has attained a comedy calibre that demands respect. The Free Your Mind Last Comic Standing 2016 winner, the Namibian Comic of the Year and Red Bull Namibia Comic Awards 2017 Favourite Comic of the Year are some of his achievements. In May, he was nominated for the Savannah Comics Choice Awards. Big Mich is also a television presenter, radio show host and scriptwriter. He grew up in Damara Location and claims that if one can survive that neighbourhood, one is perfectly geared for the comedy stage. His Son of a Mich tour in 2018 took him to 12 regions of Namibia.
Lifa places his main focus on women and himself, - two amazing topics, according to him. He will also make jokes about tall people like himself, and will claim that there is a proven relation between height and IQ levels, and that in principle, size matters.
Comedian Mark Kariahuua is your host and will keep the punch-lines and momentum going. Kariahuua insists that, while he is in the mix of things, when it comes to handing out a variety of prizes to audience members, courtesy of the Hilton Ekipa restaurant, the D´Vine & Sushi Bar and the Hilton Breeze Spa, any attempt at bribery will remain futile.
NAM Comedy Circle is collaboration between the Hilton Hotel Windhoek, the Ondjila Y´Ondjaba Concert Agency and Colourful Minds. While the formula has proven a success, the organisers strive to introduce new elements and surprises, as the project advances. NAM Comedy Circle kicks off at 20:00 sharp and entrance is free.
It invites comedians of all types and statures, whether upcoming or experienced, to partake in an audition on Saturday, 27 July at 11:00 to 13:00 at the Hilton Hotel Haddis Junior Room 1. Registration is by email to [email protected] or via WhatsApp to 081 450 7323.
