Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>THE MTN Bushfire Festival will this year see the introduction of Comedy All Stars.<\/b><\/p>\n

Billed to perform at the All-Star stand-up comedy show are Rob van Vuuren and KG Mokgadi who will team up with Zimbabwe\u2019s iconic Q-Dube and Eswatini\u2019s very own Mdura.<\/p>\n

This was revealed by the festival\u2019s Creative Director Jiggs Thorne yesterday.
\n\u201cIn true MTN Bushfire style, the line-up this year is truly multi-dimensional, featuring a wholesome and family-friendly mix of artists, who do more than simply entertain, but use their art as a powerful form of creative expression, none more so than some of our favourite comedians,\u201d said Thorne.<\/p>\n

Cosy up with these legendary comedians in the intimate setting of the House On Fire Amphitheatre, a sunken \u2018Afro-Shakespearean Globe Theatre\u2019 that houses a range of thought-provoking entertainment, including music, poetry, theatre, dance and comedy.<\/p>\n

For starters, Rob is Twakkie from the cult comedy sensation The Most Amazing Show, whose countless live shows and two enormously successful television seasons he co-wrote, produced and directed alongside Louw Venter.<\/p>\n

Shucksed<\/b><\/p>\n

He is the guy who shucksed Shuster in Shucks Tshabalala, the record breaking winner of Strictly Come Dancing, the voice of Takeshi\u2019s Castle Thailand on Comedy Central Africa, Van from Van Der Merwe and the star of a host of other film and television shows.
\nQ Dube has stepped on every big comedy stage in Zimbabwe, namely HIFA, Shoko Festival and IntwasaFestival.<\/p>\n

Kagiso KG Mokgadi or Just KG, as he is affectionately known in the quintessential comedy heavyweight was influenced by old-school comedy greats and touted by his colleagues as an up and coming great, this multiple award winning stand-up comedian will have you laughing from deep within your belly.<\/p>\n

Mdura needs no introduction in the comedy scene. He is Eswatini\u2019s \u2018Trevor Noah\u2019.
\n\u201cThis truly fired up line-up of multi-award-winning comedians will give you a fresh and hilarious perspective on the chaos of the last few years,\u201d said Thorne.<\/p>\n

Announced by CNN as one of the \u201cSeven African music festivals you really have to see\u201d, MTN Bushfire is a celebration of all aspects of creative expression.<\/p>\n

Multi-Dimensional<\/b><\/p>\n

This three-day event, renowned for eclectic and multi-dimensional programming rooted in world music, boasts a compelling line-up of theatre, poetry, dance, art exhibits and installations, storytelling, puppetry, film, and also \u2013 comedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTickets are available through MoMo Marketplace on WhatsApp \u2013 just save 7808 4000 and follow the prompts \u2013 and the MTN Bushfire website: www.bush-fire.com,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
