“HAVE A Break, have a KITKAT”, has remained synonymous with the much-loved NESTLÉ KITKAT chocolate bar.
More than a tagline, it is a call to action to take a break and come back with a smile. In that spirit, the chocolate brand is launching the What a Difference a Break Makes digitalcomedy series, featuring humourists Nina Hastie, Dillon Oliphant, Tumi Morake and Suhayl Essa.
Each of the four comedians perform in a five-minute comedy clip that can only be unlocked by participating in the campaign.
Dillon Oliphant broke onto the South African comedy scene as a winner of the “Newcomer of the year” award at the Annual SA Comics Choice Award in 2012. He has been a regular feature as an opening act for Trevor Noah’s Nationwide Tour.
Nina Hastie is a seasoned South African stand-up comedian and TV host.
Tumi Morake, South Africa’s first lady of comedy is an award-winning comedian and one of the most sought after South African comedians. Tumi is the first woman to host Comedy Central presents on African soil. She is bold, she is sassy, and she simply cannot be ignored.
Suhayl Essa is a qualified medical doctor with a funny bone. He began comedy six years ago.
Suhayl has been featured on multiple Comedy Central shows and has toured with many of South Africa’s renowned comedians including Kagiso Lediga and Loyiso Gola.
“The break we are focusing on is not the classic tea break or even a holiday break. We want the whole of South Africa to take a breakthrough comedy. We want to show consumers #WhatADifferenceABreakMakes, and encourage everyone to connect in moments of laughter,” said Janet Birk, Category Marketing Manager for NESTLÉ KITKAT at Nestlé South Africa.
The brand launch a six-part podcast series called, Take a Comedy Break. In each episode, the comedians will reflect our diverse South African realities, and through their comedy, give a permission to reflect on what truly makes you and I, special.
