CANADIAN comedian Sugar Sammy, a huge local hit in 2006, is returning to Durban for a season from Wednesday until October 12 at Durban's Suncoast Casino.

This season follows his appearances at the Cape Town Comedy Festival at the Baxter Theatre.

Dubbed the superstar of comedy in Canada, Sammy has enjoyed considerable success around the world. He has set attendance records and received outstanding reviews in comedy clubs, theatres and on university campuses across North America, Europe, South Africa and Asia.

A relentless provocateur, he stirs up and samples the multicultural melting pot that epitomises life in most urban centres today.

He presents hilarious scenarios and comments on our global society's inherent contradictions in a fun way.

He milks humour from topics such as arranged marriages in his Indian ancestry, sex, drugs and modern relationships.

He has also set himself apart from the rest in that he is able to perform in English, French, Punjabi and Hindi.
