Eliminate those Monday Blues

Mondays are a bit of a drag for many of us. Often referred to as the “Monday blues”, for some it is the most de-motivating time of the week. A quick fix would be great to get us going for the rest of the week. Why not try some laughter. It has been known to be the best medicine. We’ve heard the expression time and again. For decades, researchers have explored how humor helps patients relieve stress and heal.

Kandikru Komedy Knights hosted by Grant “Willy” Wilson who brings you laughs every Monday at Wish on the trendy strip of 7th Avenue in Melville. Every week has a different line-up of comedians old and new, such as Etienne Shardlow, Tom Fairfoot, Toll Ass Mo, Mikey Mike, Sebastian Sebasco, Anine Yssel, Slee, Mojack, Mpho Pops, Dale Amler, Richelieu Beaunoir, Robbie Collins, Hannes Brummer, Magic Man, Kagiso Lediga, Deep Fried Man, Stevie Van Wyk, Chris James, Vittorio Leonardi, Nqoba Nqobo, Martin Jonas, Tats Nkonzo and many more guest appearances from your comics.

Kandikru’s main focus is to develop local talent and give comedians a platform to perform and experiment with their material alongside South Africa’s leading comedians. Their main goal is to give comedic enthusiasts the chance to gain experience that can’t be taught in any classroom, only on stage. Some comedians wait months to go on stage for 5 minutes but with Kandikru we hone our skills to give the best stand-up entertainment as possible.

There is no admission to this fun filled evening and Wish offers a decadent menu of traditional South African cuisine, such as curries, bunny chows and mouth-watering stews. The show start at 8 pm, but the bar is fully functional way before then. Whiskey Specials from 5-7pm buy one get one free and Free WiFi from 8am to 4pm.

“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. Join us on Monday and let us take away those blues” added Grant ‘Willy’.
