Laugh Your Bowls Off! Comedy Night at Randburg Bowls Club Promises a Trifecta of Chuckles

On Friday, 25 July, comedy fans are in for a treat as PickledGinger and The BUZ Hive present Comedy Night at the Randburg Bowls Club in Boskruin. If you’ve ever needed an excuse to laugh until your face hurts, this is it.

For just R150 per person (or R180 at the door if you snooze on booking), you’ll get a front-row seat to three beloved comedy heavyweights: UK’s Tony De King (your host for the evening), Mark Banks, and Chris Forrest. Doors open at 19:00, and the laughs roll until 20:30 – a quick-hit, power hour of stand-up that’s as potent as a double G&T.

The Line-Up:

  • Mark Banks — Known for his razor-sharp political satire and wildly imaginative humour, Mark has been poking fun at the powerful (and occasionally training coelacanths) for over 25 years. With countless one-man shows and a performance record that includes Just For Laughs at the Royal Albert Hall, he’s the comedic equivalent of a national treasure… albeit one that might roast you.
  • Chris Forrest — A familiar face to local audiences and screens alike, Chris is a veteran of the SA comedy scene, a Celebrity Masterchef winner and the brainchild of the Ultimate Braai Master festivals (yes, he’s funny and can cook). His signature deadpan wit and whip-smart delivery have made him a favourite at festivals, functions, and on Comedy Central specials. Let’s just say: Chris brings the heat and the punchlines.
  • Tony De King (Host) — A British-born showman with a heart full of banter and a guitar slung over his shoulder, Tony has wowed troops, clubs, and crowds across the globe. Whether he’s MCing, performing musical comedy, or slipping into his Elvis suit (yes, that’s a thing), Tony’s the comedic glue that keeps the night from unravelling — hyping the crowd and stitching the show together with world-class punchlines.

Set in the down-to-earth and welcoming Randburg Bowls Club (22 Tinktinkie Rd, Boskruin), this comedy night offers a rare mix of seasoned stand-up, cheeky charm, and club-level camaraderie. It’s 16+, so leave the kids at home, bring your mates, and prepare for a night where the only thing more contagious than the laughter will be your side-splitting snorts.

Tickets are available via Quicket, but they’re going fast – and trust us, you don’t want to be the only one asking your friends what all the inside jokes were about.
