The comedy event takes place at the Red Bar and tonight’s line-up will include rising comedian Brian Matongo, who will be on stage for the first time at the club. Regular performers who will take to the stage tonight are Michael K, Comrade Fatso and Q the Boss.
Since its launch, the club has hosted some of the country’s most loved comedians including Carl Joshua Ncube and Edgar Langevelt. The Bang Bang Club has been steadily growing and adding flavour to the local comedy scene.
“After having been stopped for a while to open way for the recently ended Shoko Festival, the comedy club is back and this time we are bringing in new faces that will be out to ensure that audiences laugh their lungs out every month,” said Magamba Network project manager Tongai Makawa.
He said known popular comedians would take their game higher this season.
“Comrade Fatso and Michael K also star in the recently released Zambezi News, a satirical comedy sketch that takes on stories, some invented and some real, giving them a comical twist.”
Makawa said the aim of the club was to advance the culture of comedy and using jokes to address and confront critical social issues.

“In keeping with the tradition, the audiences will also be treated to some music selections by Red Bar’s favourite Dj, The Dude, who will spin the tunes till late.”
Makawa said it was important for upcoming artistes to realise that the club was a platform for them to showcase their talents as it was a light-hearted platform for comic relief.
