For a limited time only, Darren Maule will be performing his multi-media show, Seriously Funny, in the Mardi Gras Theatre, at Carnival City.
Seriously Funny will run from November 15 to 29.
For the past 19 years, Maule’s versatility as a mime, trained theatrical actor and stand-up comedian has made him a name which, somewhere along the line, we remember.
He was “that” guy on Survivor SA Santa Carolina, or perhaps you remember his great repartee with co-host Pabi Moloi on PlayTV, his sharp cutting wit on “Out the Box” and “Last Say on Sunday”, or maybe you remember him as the dark horse/comic relief in the multi-award winning “Hard Copy” TV drama series?
However you remember him, his new show, Seriously Funny, combines Maule’s skills as a comedian, actor and physical performer to tell the story, as only he can, of all his ups and downs, highs and lows, for better or for worse and to show that there is always, always space for comedy in life.
Maule uses his story-telling ability to demonstrate how absolutely anything can be funny.
For the first time he will tell of his sometimes sordid, certainly colourful and definitely not boring life.
He takes you through the burgeoning days of comedy, when stand-up comics really were the rock stars of the entertainment industry and when nobody behaved more like a rock star than Darren Maule.
He survived his lifestyle of sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll and has emerged stronger, better and funnier, and he just keeps achieving.
Maule relocated to Durban two years ago and has continued growing as a performer and can now boast an even larger following, as a breakfast radio show host.
To this day, people stop Maule and ask if he is the guy from “White Wedding”.
Quite an accolade really, seeing he only had two minutes of screen time.
He also had a cameo appearance in “District 9”, which nobody will remember, as his scene was ultimately cut.
It is brave.
It is funny.
It is his story told for the first time by him.
Tickets are available at the door at the show starts at 8pm.
