New Rasdien comedy at Gold Reef City

Joey Rasdien has a new one-man show called Mixed DNA, which will be showing at Gold Reef City's Lyric Theatre on 21 and 22 May, 2010. Rasdien's humour is good natured and well intentioned, which allows him to explore prickly issues such as race without ever sounding obnoxious

Rasdien has appeared in a number of locally lensed movies, from Running Riot to Bunny Chow, Vaatjie Sien Sy Gat to Dollars and White Pipes - as well as the recently released performance film, Outrageous. If you follow the local stand-up circuit, he will be familiar to you from the Blacks Only Comedy series and ongoing Heavyweight Comedy Jams, which draw crowds of around 4000 a time at the Emperors Palace Casino.

And just in case you've missed him in all of these guises, he's currently shooting a new movie, Blitzpatrollie, and has also just completed shooting his own sitcom - due for transmission from October 2010 on SABC 2.

The shows begin at 8.30pm and tickets cost R130 each. Bookings can be made at all Computicket outlets, www.computicket.com or at the Lyric Box Office on +27 (0)11 248 5000. For more information, go to www.goldreefcitycasino.co.za.
