SUMMARY:Laugh for 67 minutes and change a child's life
DESCRIPTION:Mandela once said\, “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” \nTo honour Madiba’s legacy support Cotlands and buy some tickets and have a few good laughs just before Mandela Day. Watch 67 minutes of comedy with us and you can help us create a brighter future for our nation’s children. \nAs South Africans we are exposed to so much negative news….crime\, corruption and now Covid-19. We want to change things around a bit and bring you laughs\, positivity and light. \nWe want to feed you with laughter and good news and make sure you have “a laugh a minute” with a fantastic group of talented comedians. But whilst you are laughing you will also be supporting vulnerable children in marginalized communities to access early childhood education. \nBuy tickets to watch our 67-minute comedy show for Mandela Day. \nAngel Campey | Conrad Koch and Chester Missing | Dalin Oliver | Kagiso KG Mokgadi | Mel Jones | Rob Van Vuuren | Stuart Taylor \nThe event will be streamed live from Webshows on the day. A link will be sent to you an hour before the event. \n
