BULAWAYO – The city’s comedy scene is about to get a seismic shake-up as Burg Comedy Club prepares to unleash Middy’s Comedy Night this Thursday – an intimate evening promising raw, unfiltered humor from some of Zimbabwe’s sharpest comedic talents.
The Lineup That’ll Have You Snorting Your Free Meal
Hosted by the lyrical genius Sox The Poet, the show features:
🎤 Frank Chirisa – The king of observational humor
🎤 Brandon Masuku – Master of awkward situational comedy
🎤 Ominis – The wildcard whose improv leaves audiences gasping
“This isn’t just comedy – it’s therapy through laughter,” promises Sox in his signature poetic cadence.
“We’re serving jokes so fresh they haven’t even hit WhatsApp statuses yet.”
Why This Show’s Different
📍 Exclusive Venue: Middy’s Cafe’s cozy 129 Tongogara space ensures an electric atmosphere
⏰ Perfect Timing: 6PM-8PM slot lets you laugh then still catch the last kombi home
🍔 Free Bites: Complimentary meals to fuel both comedians and audience roars
But here’s the kicker – with only 25 tickets available, this is Bulawayo’s hottest (and fastest-selling) comedy ticket since the mayor last tried telling a joke.
The Underground Comedy Revolution
This event signals Burg Comedy Club’s growing influence in Zimbabwe’s alternative comedy scene:
✔️ Uncensored Material – No corporate-filtered jokes here
✔️ New Talent Platform – Giving voice to rising stars
✔️ CBD Delivery – Tickets come to you if you’re within the city center
“We’re tired of the same old comedy clubs recycling tired jokes,” reveals organizer Tinashe “Burg” Ndlovu.
“This is where Zimbabwe’s next comedy legends are born.”
