Bulawayo was nothing short of amazing, I realised I was complaining about my accident and not updating you on how the Bulawayo part of Carl Joshua Ncube's BIG ANNOUNCEMENT tour. I must pay tribute to Hella Hella who promoted the show and made it happen, getting word out to the people of bulawayo, telling them that their BOY had returned with a whole load of jokes. We were hosted at the Bulwawayo Rainbow Bigup to Singa and his team for making our stay comfortable and conveniently close to the venue. Amazingly we had lots of drinkups thanks to our hosts Hella Hella at Walkers pub which is always full, from Sunday to Sunday...I don't know how people do it. I won't go into the Walkers Burger and their T-Bone which is worth the 6 hour travel to Bulawayo, thanks chef, it was an awesome treat everytime we had dinner there. Oh and back to the show, I just wanted to thank God for making this experience happen, we had such an amazing show and by standards so much funnier, BIGGER and BETTER than Harare, this thing just keeps getting better, cant wait for MUTARE. I realised when we started only a few people were in the auditorium...I guess peeps thought we would start late but at precisely 6:45, my Father (Charles Palmer Ncube) came onto stage to introduce me what an awesome priveledge from the guy who taught me everything I know and most importantly in this case how to crack a good joke.
I followed at 7pm as promised and unleashed all manner of hell on stage in a 2 hour 30 minute rendition of Carl Joshua Ncube's BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. 30 minutes into the show the part of the stage gave way and collapsed causing my left leg to go straight into the stage, hurting my hip, knee and ankle. Not to be stopped I continued back on my feet with great comedic timing (didnt want a gag to go to waste) In pain I continued with the remaining 2 hours of the show in a pair of torn jeans a bruised ego and excrutiating pain. Thankfully adrenaline and endorphines would carry me through the rib busting show...Thank you bulawayo, all 230 of you that turned up...I realised we would not be giving out any more complimentary tickets to our shows as stats have shown that only 5% of complimentary ticket recipients actually came to the shows, not to worry peeps I know you didnt believe in us but I guess you will get the opportunity one day to catch one of our shows...if you are lucky to get a ticket (ha ha haaaaa ...evil laugh)
We have stayed an extra night in skies just to catch up with old friends and family and will be getting the only for of transport to mutare from skies and thats a chicken bus...lots more entertaining stories to come for the Mutare show, I guarantee that. We are at the Rainbow Cinema in Mutare on Christmas Eve from 7pm-9pm which would give you enough time to get back to your family for Christmas day.
This is me Carl Joshua Ncube in my longest post so far that does not contain any jokes. Take care people and see you in Mutare...
P.S Thanks to Posswenti Hella Hella Skosana, Teurai Chanakira and Rutendo Denise for your support by the way, sorry we couldn't chat for long but you are in my thoughts and best wishes always.
And to the Carl Joshua Ncube's BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TEAM ( Rufaro, Tendekai and of course Nelsy...you guys are AWESOME God sent BLESSINGS)
