Comedy Show – KEVIN FRASER – Heart of the World
Saturday 6th December 2025 at 20:00 till 22:00

They say the world has seven continents. But only one has a heartbeat. Africa.
Not just a place — but the pulse that reminds us how to laugh, dance, and keep going when life says “Hayi, khona!” (Not today). Somewhere between gumboots and gospel, beneath baobabs and above the bassline, a potjie has been bubbling for generations — stories, secrets, spices, and that unspoken flavour we call gees.
And out of that stew rises Kevin Fraser — comedian, cultural translator, and part-time potjie genie — ready to stir it all with satire, sneakers, and a suspiciously deep understanding of aunties.
This journey crosses Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Eswatini, and Mauritius — from Lusaka’s side-eye to Cape Town’s rhythm, the deserts of Namibia to the island beats of Mauritius.
This isn’t just comedy. It’s a pilgrimage into the chaos, character, and soul that make Africa the Heart of the World.
Because here, you don’t need much to feel rich: a cousin with a bakkie, a packet of Fritos, and a laugh that rattles like thunder on a tin roof
Come laugh. Come listen. Come home.
