SOUTH African comedy legend, Mark Banks, is back and this time he is going for broke in his new one-man show, Banksrupt! which runs at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre in Durban 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. The legendary multi-purpose improviser and lightning-speed anarchist just keeps getting better. 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,” said Banks.
The show, which is being produced by Whacked: Special Project, incorporates stand-up, sketch and video, making it one that the world cannot ignore. Catch Mark Banks live in Banksrupt! He takes no prisoners, and your money.
Shows are on Wednesday to Friday at 7.30pm, Saturday at 2.30pm and 7.30pm and Sunday at 6pm. Tickets are R100 each through Computicket. The show carries an age restriction of no under-13s.
