Mark Banks is banksrupt!
Comedian Mark Banks returns to the Sneddon with his latest show Banksrupt!
GO for broke with Mark Banks. The South African comedy legend is back and this time he is going for broke in his new one-man show Banksrupt! which comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon theatre from 6 to 24 November
After several years of working on the biggest comedy line-up shows in South Africa, Banks makes a triumphant return. Banksrupt! has been years in the making and in consultation with two wise men, a babbling gnome and Kobus Wiese, the show promises to be his greatest comedy work yet.
‘The title is about where we are as a nation – we’re broke – financially, morally and mentally and I want to sketch out the villains behind this sorry state we’re in, obviously with a tongue in cheek flavour to keep it interesting,’ says Banks. According to witnesses, the show is described as ‘Screamingly funny…’, ‘Up to the minute’ and ‘technically, libel’. This production has even been rated as ‘Blazing’.
The show, which is being produced by Whacked: Special Project, incorporates stand-up, sketch and video, making it one that the world could not ignore. Catch Mark Banks live in Banksrupt! He takes no prisoners, and your money!
Shows are Wednesday to Friday at 7:30pm; Saturday at 2:30pm and 7:30pm and Sunday at 6pm. Tickets are R100 each. Bookings through Computicket. The show carries an age restriction of no under 13s.
