Prepare for an evening of laughter as celebrated comedians Jason and Nicholas Goliath bring their “The Happiness Economy Comedy Tour” to KwaZulu Natal.
Their first two-man show will house a collection of personal lived experiences, wrapped up in a clear takeaway that audiences can apply to their own lives.
Jason explained: “For the first time in our career, we believe the message is the point and the jokes make the message easy to digest and even easier to relate too.
“Every thing about this show feels different, it’s hilarious, hard hitting comedy like you’ve seen us deliver for years, but this time it’s far more vulnerable, more considered, more deliberate and personal.”
Meanwhile, Nicholas added that he hopes that attendees are able to laugh with them and hopefully learn something new about themselves and about finding happiness.
“If you don’t have a ticket you can’t come to the show, which means you can’t come and laugh and feel with us, so get your ticket now,” he said.
