Comedy to the left; comedy to the right – if you're in Joburg, Cape Town or Durban this week, you have some great gigs to choose from!

The dude doing an impression of a startled badger on the left is Warren Robertson, who'll be on at Gin in Greenside tonight, along with fellow-Joburg Comedy Cartel member Vittorio Leonardi. Warren's also on at Bubba J's in Atlasville tomorrow night, along with Cape Town's finest export, Dave Levinsohn, and Durban stalwart Glen Bo.

Durbanites who want to catch The Durban Comedy Invasion before it heads to Grahamstown should be at Unit 11 in Morningside tomorrow night. And Cape Town's regular gigs are also going strong – but don't forget it's two-for-the-price-of-one week at Tracy Klaas's one-woman show, Klass Struggle, at On Broadway this week!
