The Purple Turtle and Mumz The Word presents Funny Bones –
regular Tuesday night comedy. Every Tuesday will feature some of SA’s best
comedians both established and up-n-coming. On Tuesday 23rd March 2010
Funny Bones would like to showcase some of South Africa’s best Black
comedians, aptly named “The Dark Side of Comedy”.
The headliner for the evening will be Mum-z, whose career
started with presenting on the SABC 2 teenage continuity programme ‘Kidz
Can’ in 1997, he then delved in script writing where he co-wrote the 2003
Best Original Script at the Wits Raps Drama Festival – “The Pink
Flamingo”. At UCT he was the 2004 UCT Radio Freestyle champion
(undefeated) and in 2007 he was the Yfm Comedy Battle Champion.

Zinzi Mangweni will be closing the first half of the show.
Most people will remember him from the Castle television adverts. “Zinzi
Mangweni is Cape Town’s latest comic sensation. A native to the Mother
City, he has a firm grasp on the comedic nuances of modern urban life. His
style is a mix of racial observation and creative ‘sillyness’, based on
his childhood in Langa. Zinzi walked away as the winner of the 2008 new
talent search at the Cape Town International Comedy Festival – which can
only mean one thing, the arrival of a new stand- up voice.
Augmenting to this already great line-up will be Marty Kintu
(who has performed all over the country) and Leo (who will be opening the
evening as an open spot).
