Andrew Manyika brings comedy and poetry together with “Mind Your Language”

A new comedy special is on the horizon for lovers of the genre as Andrew Manyika brings together comedy and poetry in a show set for Reps Theatre in Harare this weekend. Titled “Mind Your Language” the special will be on this coming Saturday the 4th of May. Manyika will be supported by Zim Hip Hop artist R Wiz, Afropop singer Bryan K, spoken word artist SoProfound and stand-up comedian Munya.

Speaking on the inspiration of the special, Manyika said, “I’m a funny guy who is always observing. I feel like language is the only real way to connect your rich inner world and convey it to another person. When it goes bad – it can be pretty hilarious and when it goes well, my goodness, it can be life changing. So Mind Your Language captures that whole spectrum of feelings.”

The “Mind Your Language” show will be kicking off at 6pm and standard ticking are going for $10, with VIP tickets being $20 each.
