SEE the funny side of many a woman’s often fruitless search for Mr Right in the upcoming comedy show, The Jamaican Coloured Girls, to be featured at Sibaya’s iZulu Theatre for the first time in January 2016.

The riotous comedy show – which takes place on Friday, January 29 and Saturday, January 30 at 8 pm – promises to have audiences in stitches as an ensemble of hilariously bold comedians share anecdotes of their searches for what every woman wants but not everyone gets.

The play, written by Jayshree Parasuramen and Sudhir Kuldip, features four Dingalings’ comedians: Koobeshan Naidoo, Henry Ramkisson and Annalakshmi. The show boasts no vulgarity and carries no age restriction so comedy fans of all ages are welcome.

Tickets are available at Computicket and the Sibaya Box Office for R100 per person.
