The show kicks off at 20h00 and promises to leave you in stitches. Think girl-talk, tears of joy and the loud cackling of laughter that's guaranteed to leave you feeling lighter.
These award-winning comics from across South Africa, together with our generous hosts at Ground Culture, have donated their time to ensure that 100% of all funds raised go to a good cause.
Tickets R120. The venue offers a delicious menu, featuring the best burgers in all of Cape Town.
Can't make it on the night? But would like to donate to the cause. Purchase a 'Donation ONLY' ticket (or five) at R100 to contribute instead. Every rand raised will help save and change lives.
Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust:As one of South Africa's longest running sexual violence organizations, the team of specialists and volunteers offers free confidential counseling and reporting assistance to any and all survivors. Their advocacy teams educate communities on destigmatization and pressure the national government to see justice - from the clinics to the courts. With locations across the Mothercity, their community mobilization can act fast in a crisis, maintaining a 24-hour hotline in English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa. The free sanitary kits and psycological first-aid provided to survivors is often their first step in the road to recovery.
Philisa Abafazi Bethu:Based in Steenberg, this Pan-African & LGBT-friendly centre has served communities facing some of the highest levels of gang violence in the country since 2008. What started as a small team in neighbouring Lavender Hill has since grown into an internationally acclaimed network of social workers, activists and volunteers that protect vulnerable women, children and the elderly - across the country. Their services include emergency shelter for families, counselling, skills training, early childhood care, after school care, senior citizen feeding schemes, a food garden, an awareness program for men and a life-saving babysaver option for hopeless mothers. Their search and rescue team is highly trained and works closely with authorities to save lives.
