THE 10th edition of the The Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards builds up.
It ‘goes up in smoke’ on April 15 at The Galleria in Sandton evening.
Along with each of the 10 winners, who will perform five minutes of stand-up in lieu of an acceptance speech, some incredible talent has been secured for the awards show.
Look forward to an energetic performance from award-winning, internationally recognised choreographer and DJ, Courtnaé Paul, accompanied by comedian-cum-dancer, Ambrose Uren.
Almost forgot- live singing drag artist sensation, Edó.will also grace the show.
Aha, since ‘its all up and tall’ four Comics’ Choice Awards and two Emmy nominations and a ‘lank gaat‘ in Afrikaans, Loyiso Gola is the host for the evening. He’s back from London to open his show ‘Popular Culture’ at the Theatre on the Square at the Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton, on Monday 17.
“We’re excited to see the months of hard work behind the scenes, consultation with the industry, working with comedians, talent and performers, come to life on stage this weekend,” says Manuela Dias De Deus, producer of the awards.
They were created to build the industry, to highlight the stalwarts that have pioneered new paths, and to support emerging talent to be the best it can be.
The aim is to elevate careers, to help comedians sell out their shows, and for corporates to look to comedians to MC and host their events.
The ultimate goal is for international comedy festivals to book our incredible local talent to perform abroad, and for South Africa to be attracting top international acts to tour here too.
The black-tie event will be graced by who’s who of SA within the comedy sector.
A special show moment will undoubtedly be when the awards honours Hall of Fame recipient, Alan Committie.
Tickets available via Quicket.
The Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards is proudly supported by Savanna Premium Cider, LIFT, Mrs. Balls, Me Channel 115, One-eyed Jack, Newsclip and amaSocial.
