Laugh Africa Comedy Festival
If laughter is the best medicine, we could all do with a double dose right now, but Showmax is going even further, bringing you 13 brand-new stand-up comedy specials this month.
These include Sifiso Nene, winner of the Joe Mafela Award and Best Solo Show at the 2024 Savanna Comics Choice Awards, not to mention previous Comedian of the Year winners Skhumba Hlope and Tumi Morake, as well as the queen of Zulu comedy Celeste Ntuli. The full lineup includes Alfred Adriaan Chantall Jaxx; Chris Mapane; Conrad Koch; Eugene Khoza; Dillan Oliphant; Q Dube; Mashabela Galane; and Nonto R.
The stand up comedy specials were recorded live at The Laugh Africa Comedy Festival earlier this year, which also hosted The Showmax Roast of Minnie Dlamini.
