Welcome to the 12th Cape Town International Comedy Festival!
For over a decade we’ve put Cape Town on the entertainment map of the world with Africa’s largest and funniest comedy festival. This year the Comedy Festival once again innovates, engages and entertains the Mother City and incorporates a number of unique features that makes our festival ‘international’ in the true sense of the word. With six separate programmes we’ve endeavoured to cater for everyone’s taste.
As usual the festival features the ‘international show-case’ Main Arena programme in the Baxter Concert Hall, while a special edition Danger Zone runs concurrently at the Baxter Theatre presenting the global comedy phenomena ‘Puppetry of the Penis’. This year sees the launch of an exciting comedy competition programme that includes stand-up contests and Air Guitar play-offs.
Continuing a recent tradition, a host of the world’s top street performers will once again amaze and amuse Capetonians of all ages at the V+A Waterfront. The Best of the Fest remains in its usual Sunday evening slots and allows patrons the chance to see a cross-section of the most popular acts from across the festival spectrum, every Sunday for the festival’s duration.
We are again bringing the world’s hottest comedy acts to the world’s most beautiful city – we look forward to seeing you there!
