Stand Up for Sundays
If your Sunday seems dull and boring, and you reminisce of the days when you had some fun entertainment to keep you busy. We have a solution, “Stand Up for Sundays!” A fresh and witty crew of local Stand Up comedians has high jacked the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square and is occupying her stage for a month of Sundays.

The Comedy Shop is not new to the theatre; their previous performance of “Stand Up for Sundays” was in December 2005 and won mass critical praise. The troupe of five comedians offers fresh fast paced humor coupled with audience interaction and smooth roll of the tongue punch lines. The Five piece show includes, Mel Miller, Al Prodgers, Kedibone Mulaudzi, Etienne Shardlow and Alistair Plint.

Al Prodgers, has just returned from Canada, where he represented South Africa in the Yuk Yaks comedy festival. Al is not new to performing abroad he was part of the “Stand Up South Africa” show in London, is regularly seen on stages in Abu
Dhabi and left Dubai in raucous laughter. Al Prodgers is a regular headline act on local stages and was the perfect choice to open for Steven Wrights visit to Cape Town, never the less Al seems eager to be listed as part of the team on “Stand Up for Sundays.”

Kedibone Mulaudzi, has a never ending biography of impressive shows, he was invited to perform for the Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s 50th Wedding anniversary and after the show the Arch bishop went to Kedibone and said “You good, no actually you very good!” he went on to host the Comedy Nine Nine festival, Arts Alive and the Wits He, he festival’s.

Mel Miller has been performing on South African stages for over 40 years, his diverse humor and no topics untouched attitude, wrap together to bring audiences a laugh per minute performance of unstoppable joy! The veteran performer is known in the stand up market as “The Godfather of South African Comedy” and his title is evidently deserved when seen strutting punch line after
punch line from any stage.

Alistair Plint and Etienne Shardlow, are part of the original “Stand Up for Sundays” cast, the two crazy stand up comedians have been hard at work since last they visited the theatre, Alistair a regular show producer, entertainment agent and
comedian, has been responsible for many a successful show including the “comedy supper club”, “five funny guys” and “The shortcut to Pluto”. Etienne’s character “The Schoolboy” stole the hearts of avid television viewers when he won the reality comedy competition on MNets Laugh Out Loud, but that never stopped him, he currently runs two comedy venues and is always surprising
audiences with new characters that you think you’ve met at work.

This team of local comedy stars, will launch into a laugh a millisecond routines and raucous antics at The Old Mutual theatre on the square, in Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton on the 24th February, and through the Sundays in March. You areinvited to join them.
