CHEERS COMEDY DUO
CHEERS - South Africa's top comedy show.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
CHEERS ex GLAM ex ROCK & ROLL MADHOUSE) were resident at Fathers Moustache in Durban S.A. for four years during the early nineties. Constantly performing to packed houses five nights per week.
Two of the original members Fernando Lamy & Colin Sumner have re-united and re-shaped CHEERS into one of the top professional comedy cabaret shows currently available in South Africa.
The complete comedy / party night formula which has previously been confined to Fathers in Durban is now available in its original form, packed with gags, music & special guests.
Alongside Lamys unique brand of comedy and Colins vocal impersonations, the show is filled with tributes to: Roy Orbison, Elton John, The Pop Idols and The Bee Gees. These feature alongside many hilarious comedy sketches.
CHEERS can tailor make the show to suit any function and are completely self contained with sound & lights.
CHEERS play to packed houses at The Umhlanga Sands Hotel every Wednesday.
