WATCH: Jimmy Carr destroys SA’s biggest celebs
Yoh, yoh, yoh!!! This one is brutal.
Have you seen the Comedy Central Roast of Kenny Kunene? The Sushi King himself was willing to be verbally burnt at the stake by one of the most wickedly ruthless comics in the world – Jimmy Carr from the UK. But before Jimmy got to Kenny, he warmed up by destroying some of Mzansi’s biggest celebrities like Somizi, Jack Parow, PJ Powers and more. This you gotta see!
You can watch the entire Roast of Kenny Kunene on Showmax, along with the Roasts of Donald Trump, Justin Bieber and James Franco. Watch now »
As you can see, nothing is off limits in the Roast Battles. And while Jimmy is a formidable force in mockery, the SA celebs can give it just as good as they get!
We know how to take a joke in South Africa. And our beautifully descriptive 11 official languages are perfect for throwing insults at “bloody agents” like Jimmy! Let ’em have it!
