Martin Evans in F.B.P.K.

Friday night was a great success and the winner of my first Comp really enjoyed the show. A big thanks to Martin Evans for supplying tickets for the comp. I am hoping to get some more for future competitions from other sources. I have some spokes in the fire so time will tell. A review of F.B.P.K. is in the works so look out for that on Wednesday.

Funny Women:

Tomorrow is Women’s Day and for some reason that means everywhere Men will take off and women will do all the hard work. 5fm has announced that only women will be dj’ing for the entire day. Comedy is no different. You can go see Tracy Klass and Mel Jones at On Broadway tonight and tomorrow night at 20:30. Check out my review about Tracy Klass here. This is a nice way for you guys to treat your ladies and at the same time give her a break from all the sandwich making. 

Press Release:

On Broadway will be celebrating Women`s Day with two of South Africa`s funniest female comedians coming together for the first time on our stage! When trying to name the show the girls first thought of the name RELOADED, but arguments ensued as they couldn`t decide on the meaning of this - Mel immediately thought of her bank card and Tracy of her chemist prescription - so to avoid further fights they settled on FUNNY GIRLS - because that`s what they are!

Mel and Tracy visit the same subject matter but with completely different viewpoints - from age, to experience, to their backgrounds - from Sea Point to Mitchell`s Plain - however they have the same worries in common, money and they are both single mothers of teenage children! Both have Facebook pages and big Facebook followings, Mel knows how to work hers, Tracy has to call her kids!
