Stand-up comedy fans in Masvingo will be in for a treat today (June 10, 2022) as Prosper Ngomashi commonly known as Comic Pastor and Nigel Maritinyu also known as The Slick Pastor are set to stage a stand-up comedy show at Charles Austin Theatre at the Civic Centre.
Speaking to TellZim News on June 8 Ngomashi said he is promising fireworks to all his fans.
“We are coming to Masvingo with my colleague Nigel and from Masvingo there is a guy called Mambo Guramatunhu and another musician who we are going to share the stage with. We are promising them value for their money. We started this show called THE TWO GUYS VEMU T.V TOUR last year but because of Covid-19 we couldn’t come to Masvingo.
“Fans are going to get the best because all these days we have been compiling a lot of jokes for the people of Masvingo so we want to give them something tangible and meaningful. Hopefully we will entertain them to the fullest.
“Get ready the team is coming unfortunately some of our sponsors couldn’t make it. We wanted to bring the whole team, we are only bringing the crew behind the scenes. Masvingo get ready we are coming to make you laugh your lungs out this coming Friday,” said Ngomashi.
Charles Austin theatre has not been functional of late after a long lay-off after closure by the owners of the facility Masvingo City Council following reports of abuse of the theatre facility by the people who were running it then.
The visit may signal the dawn of a new beginning to the artists, theatre practitioners and entrepreneurs in Masvingo.
