We're back for our 4th show with more original, comedy sketches.

Join in on the giggling, chuckling, chortlling,cackling, sniggering, snickering, tee-heeing, howling and hooting at our 4th live comedy sketch show!

We have an amazing line up of sketches featuring hilarious characters; Men with girls names, Space cops and even Jacob Zuma!
Basically MCS is like SNL, with a few crucial differences.  

1) we perform in front of a live audience  

2) our performances are rooted in comedy  

3) we have no understanding of the phrase “crucial difference”  

By definition, MCS sketch comedy comprises a series of short comedy scenes or vignettes, called "sketches", commonly between one and ten minutes long. Such sketches are performed by a group of comic actors or comedians, either on stage or through an audio and/or visual medium such as radio and television.  MCS consists of a gaggle of performers that have joined forces to bring you original, short, sharp and shockingly hilarious sketch comedy. You’re welcome.

Very enjoyable. It was very hot though. Air conditioning would be good. The show was great! The venue too.

Hello. I loved the show. Loved the vibe. I just feel you were a bit understaffed. Although the waiters were very kind and professional. But we had to wait long for the bill and for the orders to be taken. I just felt, it being the first Thursday of the month that there should be more staff to help out. Other than that. The service was amazing. :)

Definitely the best one yet - the sketches and links are getting more well thought out as well as being satirically on point with current socio-political issues. The AV was super slick. There were a few minor tech issues but the actors skilfully improvised their way through them and turned mishaps in to comedy. There were still a few points in the show that were a bit less impactful and perhaps some fluffed could be chopped or ironed out. Can't thing of specific examples right now, sorry! :p I expect that by the next run of sketches MCS will be absolutely nailing it :)
