Thursday Comedy Club launches at Lucky’s in Durban

IT’S no secret that Durbanites love their stand-up comedy and now with a brand new weekly comedy club in town, there’s more to whet that growing appetite for fresh funny.

The newly refurbished Lucky’s Bar and Cafe, situated in 507 Windermere Road in Durban,  is offering up more than a few tweaks on their menu.

In addition to an array of weekly entertainment gigs at the establishment, owners Colin Balliram and Debora Pillay says they’ll be serving up some of the finest in stand-up comedy via their Thursday Comedy Club gigs.

Colin explained how the concept came about: “Durban comedian Carvin Goldstone has been a frequent patron of Lucky’s Bar and Cafe and it made perfect sense that we should combine our efforts in a bid to deliver a weekly dose of stress relief and emotional detachment via the best medicine – laughter,” he said.

“Lucky’s Bar and Cafe offers its clientele entertainment for every day of the week, and we feel adding a Comedy Club to the already busy lineup would fit right in with the culture of what we are wanting to achieve, which is an entertainment hotspot for everyone, everyday of the week,” added Colin.

Popular Comedian, Carvin Goldstone, said: “Durban is ready for dedicated comedy spaces. At the moment all our gigs are pop up gigs or monthly. Thursday Comedy Club will give visiting and local acts a regular space to test new ideas and work jokes.”

Recognised international comedians Dana Alexandera from Canada and Justin Rivera from America’s Got Talent have already been booked for the shows in November. Local favourites, Neil Green, Arnotte Payne and East Coast Radio’s Rory Petzer has also been booked.

Thursday Comedy Club launches this  Thursday, 26 October 2017. The line-up features Tyson Heffer headlined by Carvin H Goldstone. Andrew Hughes will host the show.
