THE "nasty" judge of the SABC1 comedy show So you think you can Dance, Ntosh Madlingozi, will have fans in stitches when he performs in Durban next Friday

Madlingozi, known as a "straight talker and nasty judge", will share the stage with one of last year's finalists, Celeste Ntuli, who will be the only "rose among the thorns".

Ntuli, who was "humbled" to perform with Madlingozi, said: "I am very excited because I am going to be the only woman in the show. I am going to share the stage with some of the country's best comedians. This is going to be a great show, with lots of laughter. It's going to e one of Durban's best ever comedy shows."

This comic extravaganza will be held at Durban's Playhouse.

Madlingozi will be accompanied by Sya-B, aka Siyabonga Radebe of a A Place Called Home fame. Durban comedians Felix Hlophe, Skhumba Hlophe and Thomas Gumede will also feature. Madlingozi has hosted many comedy shows, among them Blacks Only and the Vodacom Funny Festival.
