Get ready to laugh your winter blues away as some of South Africa’s top comedic legends take to the stage for the annual comedy series, JOKERS IN JULY, live from the iconic Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace.
The comedy experience – made for the people, by the people (who love to make you lol) – brings together the best of the best in an unmissable month-long, laugh-a-minute comedy takeover that is as diverse as South Africa itself.
From cultural commentary to side-splitting satire, expect a full-on laughter riot showcasing a diverse mix of generations, languages, and styles that reflect the rich comedy DNA of Mzansi. Featuring the likes of Trevor Gumbi, Ntosh Madlingozi, Darren Maule, Mpho Popps, Joey Rasdien, Hannes Brummer, Jaxx Justice, Riaad Moosa, Richelieu Beaunoir, Keenan Cerff and many more…
Jokers in July is a celebration of culture, chaos and cracking good jokes, where no funny bone is left un-tickled and where South Africans from every walk of life can come together, laugh together and momentarily forget about our problems.
