Are you ready for some comedy, impressions and wise-cracks?<\/p>\n
Then make sure you get your tickets to see Mervyn from Durban.<\/p>
He will be appearing at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace on June 1 at 8pm.<\/p>\n
Mervyn from Durban gives a personal take on the funny side of growing up in Durban.<\/p>
The comedian will take the audience on a journey of the many experiences he has had over the years, from childhood to adulthood.<\/p>\n
Mervyn, who describes himself as a \u201cProudly South African Durbanite of Indian Origin\u201d, has 30 years of stage experience under his belt with performances throughout SA.<\/p>\n
Recalling his days when he played on the streets of Durban, namely Victoria, Prince Edward, Queen, Grey, Leopold, Albert and Cross streets, he said, \u201cAs a child I played outside, there was no electronic gadgets to keep us entertained, we had to entertain ourselves, hence the interest in dance and comedy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cinema is where he spent most of his time trying to hone his skills, which worked perfectly for him.<\/p>\n
Living literally next door to The Dreamland, Liberty, Raj, Shiraz, Isfahan, Naaz, Avalon Albert and Topaz cinemas gave him every opportunity to follow his heart as an entertainer.<\/p>\n
