In
line with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Simuka Comedy scores
another first. After launching two years ago as the first comedy club in
Zimbabwe, it now brings you the first women professional comedy club – ALMOST
All Divas Comedy Night, to make its debut on the 3rd of December.
The
show will be opened by singer Kessia Magosha who is also going to do a stand-up
performance later in the night. Wadzanai Chiuriri a.k.a BlackPearl, an
acclaimed poet, also just getting in to comedy will be the Night’s host. And
just to spice things up, there will also be a sacrificial male comedian.
Basically,
it is a night all about having fun and hearing what the female comics have to
say. Women have been at the mercy of the male comics for so long, that Simuka
just had to intervene and make sure women get to have a chance for a rebuttal!
Because of the 16 Days of Activism as well, there will be an open mic where the
ladies can also get up on stage and show us what they are made of.
December
3 therefore, is the official genesis for a whole new wave of comedy craziness
that Simuka Comedy is bringing to the country. Starting with the ALMOST All
Divas Comedy Night, Simuka Comedy will be hosting comedy nights at the Book
Café every Tuesday. The first Tuesdays there will be ALMOST All Divas Comedy Night,
Open Mic Comedy will be on the second Tuesday of the month and on the third
Tuesday there will be ImprovComedy.
