The seven comedians appeared together in the 46664 It's No Joke nearly a decade ago; the 46664 campaign took its name from Mandela's Robben Island prison number as he was prisoner number 466 and incarcerated in 1964).

2018 marks the centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela who was born on July 18, 1918. Throughout the year, the Nelson Mandela Foundation – established by Mandela in 1999 after he stepped down as president of South Africa – will promote his legacy through a series of events and engagements. All proceeds from A Night to Remember Comedy Show will go to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

Roddy Quin of Real Concerts says: “We are delighted that these iconic South African comedians will be back together in a hilarious show in which all monies go to the Nelson Mandela Foundation in a year that celebrates the great man’s centenary and legacy. Comedy is a platform that unites people and delivers a message on social justice.”
