by hypress Wednesday, August 21, 2024

Ja, life in South Africa is an f-show. See, when you’re paying more to get to the job than the job is actually paying you… that’s an F-Show. When you only find out how expensive that baddie’s tastes are after you marry her… that’s an F-Show. When a loan shark is manoeuvring a leather 3-seater out of your front door the day before Christmas… that’s an F-Show.

But, when comedians Mpho Popps, Vafa Naraghi, and Khanyisa Bunu step onto a stage together, that is ‘The F-Show’!

Comedy fans are in for a night of unfiltered, side-splitting comedy as Mpho Popps, one of South Africa’s most beloved comedians, leads a powerhouse lineup in ‘The F-Show’. Known for his electric stage presence and razor-sharp wit, Mpho Popps will dive into the cost of living in SA, transforming it into comedic brilliance that will leave audiences roaring with laughter. With years of experience on both television and live stages, Mpho’s unique perspective on life’s absurdities has made him a household name, and his headlining performance at ‘The F-Show’ is set to be legendary.

But Mpho Popps isn’t the only star bringing the funny. Vafa Naraghi, a comedian with a distinct voice and a knack for finding humour in the unexpected, will be delivering his own brand of observational comedy. Vafa’s sharp commentary on cultural dynamics and everyday mishaps will resonate with anyone who has ever found themselves in their own personal F-show. His clever storytelling and relatable humour have earned him a strong following, and his set promises to be full of ugly laughs.

Rounding out the lineup is Khanyisa Bunu, whose rise in the comedy world has been nothing short of meteoric. Known for her no-nonsense approach and witty punchlines, Khanyisa will bring her fresh perspective to the stage. With a comedy style that blends sharp observations with personal anecdotes, she has become a favourite among South African audiences, and her performance at ‘The F-Show’ promises to deliver laughs that are as insightful as they are hilarious.

‘The F-Show’ is not just another comedy show. From the absurdity of the cost of groceries to the tenacity of side hustle culture, the show is a reflection of the glorious ups and downs, ins and outs of surviving on the daily in South Africa.

“I am so excited to perform ‘The F-Show’ for audiences. This show is all about capturing the everyday chaos and humour that comes with being South African,” Mpho Popps says. “It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s ridiculously funny. We’re not just telling jokes; we’re sharing stories everyone can relate to.”

‘The F-Show’ will take place at Sandton’s Theatre on the Square during the weekend of 13th, 14th, and 15th of September. The doors will open at 7pm for Friday and Saturday, with the shows starting at 8pm; and at 3pm on Sunday, September 15^th with doors opening at 2pm.
