Bafunny Bafunny brings its comedy line-up to Durban and Cape Town

Bafunny Bafunny has moved from its Pretoria opening towards dates in Durban and Cape Town, with Trevor Noah among the names drawing attention to the programme.

Noah’s published schedule lists Durban on 19 September and Cape Town on 25 and 26 September. The Citizen’s sponsored coverage of the opening highlighted performers including Eugene Khoza, Thabiso Mhlongo, Mbali Gudazi and Learnmore Jonasi, with Noah closing the Pretoria event.

A shared bill offers a different experience from an evening built around one performer. The room gets several fresh starts: another voice, another pace and another way of seeing a familiar situation. A comic you came specifically to watch may be the reason you booked, while somebody else supplies the story you repeat afterwards.

For audiences who know Noah mainly from television and online clips, a live appearance also puts the timing back into the room. The pauses and the response of the audience become part of the evening, rather than something compressed into an edited excerpt.

The published programme is a starting point for planning, not a review of performances we have attended. Check the venue, line-up and entry conditions attached to your particular date before booking travel. The Cape Town dates fall close to Heritage Day, so accommodation and transport deserve attention alongside the ticket.

For those wanting a night out built around comedy, the tour offers a concentrated selection of performers rather than a single familiar face.
