DAVID KAU DELIVERS A ‘RIB CRACKING’ SHOW

EZULWINI – “Swaziland I’m back!”

These were the first words that came out of David Kau’s mouth as he took to the stage for his ‘Half man, half Comic’ show last Saturday night. Leading South African comedian, David Kau graced the Royal Swazi Spa Convention Centre on Saturday night as the  main act during a comedy night hosted  by  Sifundzani  Primary School to raise funds. Comedy lovers were gathered at the Convention Centre to witness the South African celebrated comic take center stage.  His performance was part of a tour that he started in September in Maseru, Lesotho and has already been to Polokwane, Port Shepstone, Empangeni and recently Swaziland. After sold out performances for three years running, one being last year’s show where he was also  invited by the school, his local followers couldn’t wait for him to be back again for yet another successful show. Introducing the South African act was local comedian Ndosh, who played a huge part in putting together the show. When Kau came on stage, he introduced himself to the audience and made it clear that he was back for the second time as a headline act for Sifundzani.

“My wife used to attend school at Sifundzani, so I really have no choice hey,” he joked. Kau said that he never wanted to be a comedian and had no experience in comedy before his debut show in 1998. “I had never wanted to be a comedian in the first place; the first comedy, gig I ever did was my first encounter with comedy where I was booked for a show. You know what, I just jumped on stage and did impersonations of Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and from there someone had the guts to book me for a comedy festival in Capetown.” He said as he started the first half of the show. After being on stage for his first set of the comedy night, Kau, in an interview with the publication said that he loved the Swazi crowd so much that he gets excited every time he has to jump on stage. He said more than anything, he loves the fact that his Swazi followers are friendly. It was a different crowd for the two sets of the show as there were fresh faces as part of the audience for the second show which started at 8:30pm. Again, Ndosh introduced the South African comedian and welcomed him on stage. Comedy lovers seemed to have had a good time at the show as they would now and again laugh their lungs out during the comic’s set.
