The first of its kind in Africa; the Jnb International Comedy Festival is going down in November.
Scores of local and international comedians will take to the stage to entertain us in Braamfontein and Newtown in Joburg. The Festival takes place over three days from 6-8 November and we can’ wait.
Among the 42 incredible comedians who’ll be entertaining you are Loyiso Gola, Ndumiso Lindi, John Vlismas, Kagiso Lediga, Celeste Ntuli, Nina Hastie, Maurie Langan and Orlando Baxter.
The festival is built around key concept shows:
- Stand Up Africa (Alexander Theatre) – Comedy with Africa’s finest comedians sharing one stage
- League of Nations (Alexander Theatre) – Comedy without borders featuring talent from around the world.
- Fire In The Hole (Bannister Hotel Basement) – Comedy with no limits or boundaries, humor that is risky, edgy and politically incorrect.
- The Late Nite Show (Orbit Jazz Café) – Comedy inspired by the late night talk show format of host, live band, interactive engagement with the comedians and special music guests.
- Live From The 13th Floor (Thirteen) – Comedy that celebrates trailblazing female talent live from Braamfontein’s newest and sexiest venue atop the Neighbourgoods Market.
- Vernac Attack (Bassline Theatre) – Comedy in any of South Africa’s indigenous languages, a previously underground category that is now taking the country by storm.
- Jokenation (Market Theatre) – Jokenation is a global talent search that seeks to find tomorrow’s comedy stars in the US, UK, Continental Europe, Middle East / Asia as well as South Africa. The best comedian to win this SA final will be flown to Switzerland to go and perform at the Montreux Comedy Festival in December.
