Enkara’s ‘The Evening Show’ set to ignite comedy scene

LOCAL arts and entertainment entrepreneur Emmanuel Enkara is on the brink of revolutionizing the Namibian comedy landscape with the highly-anticipated launch of the political satire comedy talk show, aptly named ‘The Evening Show.’

Scheduled to unfold at the vibrant Et Cetera Art Café and Studio tonight, ‘The Evening Show’ promises an exhilarating blend of wit, satire, and celebrity charm, promising attendees an unforgettable evening brimming with laughter and entertainment.

It is inspired by renowned late-night shows hosted by American hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. “Well, our show today is our debut show, and it is themed ‘One Small Step for Comedy, One Giant Laugh for Namibia’. This is our introduction to the industry. Our message is come and see something different,” said Enkara, who is also the founder and director of ENK Institute For Public Art, a registered non-profit organisation that focuses on commissioning, presenting and maintaining public art in Namibia.

From special guest appearances to musical performances and comedy skits, ‘The Evening Show’ guarantees a night filled with laughter and delight.

“The aim behind our show is to enrich the comedy landscape in Namibia while offering viewers a diverse package of entertainment,” he told VIBEZ! 

Despite facing challenges, Enkara and his team have diligently planned the show since November. He promised comedy enthusiasts an engaging and structured live production, a rarity in Namibia’s entertainment scene. With cameras capturing the action, audience members will become part of the live experience. 

Enkara added that the show will mark a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Namibia, with hopes for many more episodes to come.

“This has been an idea of mine for several years. I simply lacked the time to execute it. I believe it’s the natural evolution of comedy. While stand-up comedy remains the backbone, a late-night show offers, consistent satire and visual entertainment. Our goal is to collaborate with established and aspiring comedians to elevate the comedy scene in Namibia, making it both lucrative and uproariously funny,” Enkara said.
