The Comedy Central Roast of Khanyi Mbau Brought To You by Showmax
The Wife Season 2 star Khanyi Mbau is the first African woman to get her own Comedy Central Roast. "Who else but me?” says Khanyi. “The first African female to be roasted by Comedy Central was only ever going to be me. Even your favs could NEVER. You’ve said what you said; now say it to my face."
Mpho Popps steps up as Roast Master, while Celeste Ntuli, Devi Sankaree Govender, John Vlismas, Nadia Nakai, Sello Maake kaNcube, SelBeyonce Mkhize, Sol Phenduka, Tbo Touch, and YoungstaCPT are sharpening their claws as panellists.
“Khanyi Mbau steamed up Showmax screens this year as Zandile in The Wife Season 2, which broke records and topped Twitter,” says Nomsa Philiso, MultiChoice’s executive head of programming. “Things haven’t turned out well for anyone who’s messed with Zandile and the Zulu brothers’ family so far, so good luck to anyone brave enough to try roast her.”
Don't miss the two-hour-plus uncensored, uncut version - it's the Roast, but dirtier - now streaming.
