Blacks Only Comedy back on stage at Emperors Palace
Wednesday, February 22, 2017
Presented by Real Concerts and now in its fourteenth year, Blacks Only Comedy is a highlight on the South African entertainment calendar and attracts thousands of loyal fans to shows each year. Appropriately themed Blacks Only Comedy Capture, the show will feature veteran David Kau at the helm as emcee.
The show promises an exciting line-up of some of South Africa’s most well-loved stand-up comedians and artists, including Limpopo-born Noko Moswete, comedy all-star Ndumiso Lindi and the award-winning comedy ventriloquist, Conrad Koch. Audiences can also expect the return of funny man Robby Collins, the hilarious Loyiso Madinga, known for his performance on Trevor Noah’s Nationwild show and Roni Modimola, one of South Africa’s fastest rising superstars in the comedy field. There will also be fresh talent strutting their stuff on the big stage, so make sure you don’t miss out on this spectacular evening!
“Blacks Only Comedy is a South African institution that showcases some of the most talented comedians the country has to offer,” says Andi Shaughnessy, Emperors Palace Entertainment Manager. “We are thrilled to be hosting the show at our beautiful Centre Court and look forward to an unforgettable evening of South Africans poking fun at one another.”
Over the years, Blacks Only Comedy has brought some of the world’s funniest stand-up comedians to the local stage. Jimmy Carr, Trevor Noah, Marc Lottering and Riaad Moosa are just a few of the many Blacks Only Comedy veterans who have made audiences cry with laughter over the years.

Reviews
First, look down when you walk in: the interior walkways are paved with authentic Smart Stone Huguenot Cobbles, engineered specifically to replicate the tactile feeling of walking on real, ancient Roman highways. It is an incredible piece of immersive design that has stood the test of time since its inception.
Second, as someone sensitive to travel fatigue, the engineering here is spectacular. Despite being right next to major runways, the structural acoustics completely eliminate aviation noise. Furthermore, if you explore the convention wing, the rooms are named chronologically after Roman Emperors (Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius), featuring a highly advanced smart-lighting system that subtly shifts tone to help international travelers fight jet lag.
The multi-tiered security checks at the gates provide immense peace of mind, making it a safe, self-contained empire. From the manicured garden paths to the world-class service, it is a flawless, deeply thought-out destination. Don't just stop by for a quick game—take a moment to appreciate the sheer craftsmanship of the Palace of Dreams!
Hidden Details Most Guests Don't Know The Secret History of the Floors:
When the resort opened in September 2000, it was named Caesars Gauteng. The internal casino paths use custom Huguenot Cobble and Shepstone Pavers designed by SmartStone to precisely mimic the durability and texture of ancient Roman stone highways.
The "Imperial Court" Conference Subtext:
The major conference rooms in the South Wing are purposefully named after successive Roman emperors—Claudius, Augustus, Tiberius, Florian, and Romanus. They feature a hidden central smart-lighting grid that automatically shifts color warmth to match the biological clock of travelers suffering from jet lag.
The Multilayered Security Ring: Casual visitors often miss how tightly the security net is woven. Because of its position right next to O.R. Tambo International Airport, the property utilizes an advanced, continuous perimeter sweep and bag-screening protocol that keeps it significantly safer than standard commercial venues.
The Sound-Insulated Aviation Oasis: Despite being directly in the flight path of Africa's busiest airport, the structural glass and architectural roofing are uniquely engineered to absorb low-frequency jet engine vibrations, meaning you can sit in the gardens or sleep in the hotels in absolute peace
