The Most Anticipated Comedy Show

As a winner of numerous comedy competitions in both South Africa and Britain, and a Comic's Choice Award nominee in 2011, the announcement by stand-up comedian Warren Robertson that he was intending to bring a show to Grahamstown this year was bound to cause a stir.

As a winner of numerous comedy competitions in both South Africa and Britain, and a Comic's Choice Award nominee in 2011, the announcement by stand-up comedian Warren Robertson that he was intending to bring a show to Grahamstown this year was bound to cause a stir.

Warren's humour has been described around the country as being, original, “immaculately written” and “laugh-out-loud hilarious”, but that does not mean his debut one-hour performance was something he took lightly. “I think the added pressure to succeed really added to the stress of putting this whole thing together, but in the end it has paid off.

"What's death of a heart attack at 50 when the result is a show I can genuinely be proud of?” laughs Warren. The show was inspired by a strange series of events. For three years Warren has been receiving unsolicited emails from a huge Mormon American family who update one another on their lives via these electronic newsletters.

“At first I thought it was a bizarre new form of spam, but as the mails kept coming and the people's lives kept changing I realised that I was blessed here with a really intimate, unique look into someone else's family and started to draw profound conclusions from the touching moments in their lives. Then I made jokes about it,” he says.

Warren's very funny show, Spamily, will be running daily at the Masonic Hall Front from July 2 to 7 and tickets cost R45 at Computicket.
