Gigging in Johannesburg?

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on August 31st, 2007

Acappella Productions is producing the South African leg of the New York Underground Comedy Fest in October. They’re seeking a comedian. They want comics to audition via the WWW. Here are the details:

So, as many of you know we’re hosting New York Underground South Africa.

We’ve decided that the official New York Underground Comedy Festival would be nothing without some American flavor. Ever wanted to visit South Africa?

We are conducting video auditions for headlining American comedians. If you would like to win a trip to perform in SA, please send me a MySpace email with the following:

1. Full name
2. Bio (including big shows & awards)
3. A link to a YouTube clip or two of you doing stand-up. Needs to be decent quality.

Conditions:
1. Acappella will pay for your standard return flights (anywhere in USA to JNB airport), 3-star accomodation, ground transportation.
2. You need to be in posession of a valid passport.
3. You need to be available from Monday 1 Oct to Saturday 6 Oct. The show nights are Wed 3, Thu 4, Fri 5 in Johannesburg.
4. You will be interviewed live in-studio on SA’s biggest national radio station.
5. The flight and accomodation is for one person only, if you want to bring friends, family and pets, you may, but at your own expense.
6. You will need to cover food and beverage costs, which isn’t that bad considering you get 7 of our Rand for 1 of your Dollars.

Acappella’s website is here, but they’re requesting that all correspondence regarding the audition process be sent via their Acappella Productions MySpace site.
