David Newton, two-time award nominated* stand-up comic
(*Defending the Laid Man 2006 & Politically Incorrect 2007), is back at
the On Broadway Theatre in his long awaited and eagerly anticipated, brand
new show.
In the past David’s shows, apart from being jaw-achingly
hilarious, have all had a strong message behind them: Defending The Laid
Man took a provocative look at dating, relationships & sex for the modern
man and Politically Incorrect dealt with the subject of political
correctness and challenged audiences long-held views on what is or isn’t
out of bounds to laugh at. In ‘LAUGH’, David is going back to the basics
of stand-up comedy which, in its essence is simply about making audiences
LAUGH. Instead of committing to a subject, theme or moral of the story,
‘LAUGH’ is just a simple mandate for David to explore the fundamentals of
what makes us all laugh. And, at the end of the day, that’s what audiences
look for in a comedy show.

David’s ability to explore any and every subject on stage once
prompted the Cape Times to publish, “One gets the feeling he (Newton)
isn’t scared of any subject”. With ‘LAUGH’ Newton will no doubt continue
this trend of calling a spade a ‘spade’... and with a title like ‘LAUGH’
audiences are left in no doubt of what David’s primary intention is for an
evening with him. It’s quite simple: “LAUGH!”
Also familiar as the presenter of SABC3’s reality travel
show Couch Trip (Big Blue Productions) and cameo appearances on Top
Billing and Stokvel, his razor-sharp wit and his ability to provoke his
audiences and make them laugh uncontrollably at everyday subjects, David
has established himself as one of South Africa’s fastest rising comedy
superstars.
