PICS: The Trippin With Skhumba live show
In this Showmax Original comedy-reality series, Skhumba visits six of SA’s top comedians in their hometowns and finds out about their background, their roots and how they broke onto the stand-up scene. There’s a new episode on Showmax every Thursday, and the series finale on 11 April will feature the live show that took place in Newtown, Johannesburg, on 23 March.
The sold-out event was a huge hit with the full-house audience, and #TrippinWithSkhumba trended on Twitter over the weekend.
