Comedy is still running a treat at Zula's on Monday evenings.

Thursday has a hilariously funny weekly show at the Jou Ma Se Comedy Club in Albert Hall in Woodstock - it is run by the hilarious Kurt Schoonraad and has top performers every week.

Wednesday has two current shows
, Jokers in Athlone - run by Melody Shevlane and La Med in Clifton - by Paul Snodgrass.

Best Ugly in Green Point continues
to bring the finest acts in the country to its stage and will be announcing the autumn line up shortly. With headline perfomances from Nik Rabinowitz and Riaad Moosa over the past two shows, booking has become essential.
