There is no better feeling than enjoying a great night out with friends and colleagues. If that’s what you’re looking for, The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival offers just that.
Group bookings have been a feature of The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival for years, either as a fund raiser, corporate or club night out or for a personal cause. Group or bulk bookings of more than ten start qualifying for discounts. The more tickets are purchased, the larger the discount. Buy the entire house of 650 seats and make up to R58 000 profit!
Group bookings are built on the premise that live comedy is best enjoyed in groups, because the shared experience transforms humor into a collective. The atmosphere created by a crowd makes laughter louder and more frequent, turning a simple show into a memorable social bonding experience.
There are some nights during the Festival, that the murmur of the audience before the curtain is raised is an indication of the level of laughter. These are usually the characteristics of a group booking. They are up for a good night out.
Laughter is highly contagious; a room filled with people laughing, creates a shared, high-energy atmosphere that amplifies the humour and fun. Sharing a laugh with friends or even strangers generates a sense of community and connection, acting as a “social glue”. “Having collective fun whilst raising money for a common cause is an easy sell” says Eddy Cassar, director of The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival.
“We have many repeat clients who over the years have raised serious money through group ticket sales whilst others raise money for their child’s school sports tour, or a personal objective. The Funny Festival has become a popular method of raising funds and the show is the best quality combination of variety and stand up I could find” adds Eddy Cassar.
“I am of the belief that the group atmosphere experience at the Funny Festival is a form of therapy or shared catharsis. Plus, the comedy is clean, different and extremely funny, allowing all ages to enjoy the show. Over the years I have seen family groups increase in size as the excitement of the Funny Festival permeates the household” says Eddy Cassar. “It’s also a safe bet for a sensitive corporate”.
Live comedy is a two-way conversation; comedians thrive on, and adjust to the energy of the crowd. There is no stronger supplement than audience response to a performers’ routine. It’s a win-win situation. Plus attending in a group provides an immediate, shared experience that friends or work colleagues can laugh about together, long after the show ends.
The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival runs at The Baxter Theatre from 28 May – 21 June. Bookings can be made through Webtickets.
