Stand-up comedian Mark Sampson’s revolutionary comedy "Missing Links" has been a massive success nationwide – it sold out in Cape Town, was a huge hit at the 2005 Grahamstown Festival, and played to packed houses and great critical acclaim at the Liberty Life Theatre on the Square in Sandton throughout February. Inspired by a visit to the Sterkfontein caves, Sampson contemplates a South African future for his kids by looking back at the very origins of the human family - all the way from the great apes to George Bush. He takes us on a rollercoaster taxi-ride through 3 billion years of evolution: from microbes to man, via Mrs Ples, homo erectus and a lot of monkeying about. A laugh-a-minute hour with one man and a microphone that will make you see our ancestors – and our present - in a whole new light…
