the exclusives

As of Jan 1st 2012, Whacked is proud to announce that (from left to right) John Vlismas, Tumi Morake, Mark Banks, Ndumiso Lindi and Mpho Pops are Whacked Exclusive clients. Watch this space for the official campaign launch in early February 2012 together with some new Partners.

		John Vlismas For 15 years John has deftly walked the line between underground, alternative and mainstream comedy. His particular brand of strange and hilarious has charmed local and international audiences alike. His absurd worldview has the rare ability to resonate across any audience. Corporate groups, spotty students and mensa inductees all respond to his unique, home grown observations. He has written, directed, lectured, acted and mc’d in all kinds of venues from seedy bars to the Royal Albert Hall. He’s odd, he’s mad, he’s sharper than you and he’s the guy that gets the guy who booked him a promotion. Visit Whacked Profile

		Tumi Morake If you’re not already aware of Tumi’s rapid transition from screen and stage actress to show-stopping headline comic, then society and it’s trappings, like human contact, is not for you, now back in your cave. Tumi is smart, outspoken and vivacious – and she keeps taking the audience by the short and curlies and bringing it to its knees. Visit Whacked Profile

		Mark Banks The legendary multi-personality improviser and lightning-speed anarchist just keeps getting better. The Royal Albert Hall, The Hammersmith Apollo and The PE Opera House are better off having hosted this iconic showman. Visit Whacked Profile

		Ndumiso Lindi From the first time you see Ndumiso, you can’t help but feel good. His novel blend of nu-school style and solid tradition makes for a brilliant and outstanding South African comedy act. His deep voice, soul-warming smile, booming laughter, original content and seamless delivery leave you proud to be local and laughing from the belly. While other acts relentlessly circle the major centres of our nation, Ndumiso is also quietly going about the business of performing all over Africa. With rave reviews in Ghana, Nigeria and upcoming shows in Kenya and Uganda, this man is taking SA comedy to places few would manage or imagine. Visit Whacked Profile

		Mpho Pops Fresh, young, gifted and humble. Not words one would associate with new talent in SA Comedy right now… Mpho shows enormous promise, with uncanny polish for his age, and brings a very current and unique viewpoint onto the big comedy playing field. Visit Whacked Profile
