NAM Comedy Circle back with more jokes

The popular stand-up comedy event regularly metamorphoses into a party with the Hilton Hotel offering prizes ranging from complimentary cocktails to a massage at the Hilton Breeze Spa and a dinner for two at the Ekipa restaurant. The forthcoming NAM Comedy Circle precedes a public Namibian holiday – Ascension Day, offering additional ease of mind to the audience. Free Your Mind’s Last Comic Standing 2012, Tapiwa Makaza unravels weaknesses and strengths within the Namibian public service culture with a special reference to current social and political affairs. Returning from a comic stint at the Happy Hippo Comic Club in Durban, where he shared the stage with well-known South African comedian Emilio Tobias and Zimba the Comic King from Zimbabwe, he hopes to promote his very own xenohopia-survival-kit. Makaza further takes a look at excesses within Namibian Defence Force’s operational efforts, the upcoming Miss Namibia event and at overriding Namibian sentiments vis-à-vis the recent Leonard Witbeen ‘affair’.Kris with a K is back with a bang, following a hilarious presentation at the recent Free Your Mind Housing is Not a Joke show at the Warehouse Theatre. Kris, full name Kristiana Hafunda first entered the Namibian stand-up comedy scene in 2014. He has since been a regular performer at corporate functions, Free Your Mind events and the University of Namibia, where he is studying towards a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in Media and Drama Studies. His international exposure includes Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa; where in October 2017 he participated at the revered Johannesburg International Delphic Comedy Championships, ending up as one of the finalists. Kris with a K has an astute talent for funny stories. He manages to depict life in the ghetto in a fashion that reveals both love and appreciation for people of his generation, who are negotiating the options of accepting the hardships of life and seeking novel ways to overcome it. Lloyd will round up the evening. This comedian’s favourite past time is to mimic personae of various cultural backgrounds. His personification of well-known members of the Namibian society, combined with an irresistible inclination to put words in other people’s mouths make him a prime proponent of comic versions of accumulated fake news which usually leaves the audience cracking with laughter. Comedian in his own right, Mark Kariahuua takes over the reigns as master of ceremony. Once again, jovially joining the pieces together and adding spice where necessary, whilst fervently and openly defending the art of comedy in an on-going battle against obliviousness of his Herero peers. The entrance to NAM Comedy Circle is free of charge. The event begins at 20:00 and excerpts from previous NAM Comedy Circle shows are available on YouTube. STAFF REPORTER
