Parker’s Comedy at Gold Reef City will initially host comedy evenings on Fridays and Saturdays, with more nights in the pipeline as audiences grow. An MC and three comics will take to the stage each night to deliver the kind of killer comedy entertainment associated with the Parker’s brand.
“The stand-up comedy scene in South Africa has really taken off in the past 5 years, and we’d like to think we had a hand in that with the launch of the first purpose-built comedy club on the continent in November 2008,” says Joe Parker. “Comedy nights have sprung up all over the place, our comics are performing regularly on international stages and stand-up has taken its place in the South African entertainment scene as a viable option for a good night out – and Parker’s is proud to be able to offer the art another new home, with this new venue at Gold Reef City.”
Comics who have graced the stage at Parker’s Comedy & Jive at Montecasino will also become regulars at Parker’s Comedy Gold Reef City - including Joe Parker, Mel Miller, Ndumiso Lindi, Joey Rasdien, Deep Fried Man, Donovan Goliath, Tony De King, Chris Forrest, Martin Jonas, Loyiso Gola, Martin Davis, John Vlismas, Darren Maule, Tumi Morake and many more.
