IF we’re to list factors that increase people’s anxiety and stress, much would be said.
South Africans are going through a lot recently and laughter is all they need to distress.
The Savanna & Showmax Laugh Africa Comedy Festival 2024 is coming to Joburg.
The Comedy Festival will take place from the 5 – 7 April at Sandton Convention Centre.
The line-up includes none other than the legendary comedian Eddie Griffin.
Locally we have Tumi Morake, Alfred Adriaan, Mashabela, Chris Mapane, and more.
Attendees will enjoy a three-day laughter-filled journey with over 50 local and international comedians across three stages – where they will enjoy comedy in English, SeTswana, SePedi, IsiZulu and Afrikaans.
Laugh Africa introduced the innovative ‘Just One Ticket’ concept, making the festival accessible to every comedy lover. It offers access to all shows on their ticketed day, with prices ranging from R340 for general access to R7500 for a VIP experience.
The festival’s creative director, Stuart Taylor, said: “We’re redefining comedy festivals in South Africa. This isn’t just a show; it’s a three-day journey through laughter, from local talents to international acts. There’s something for everyone.”
Senior brand manager for Savanna Premium Cider, Kayla Hendricks, added that their brand has an incredible legacy of nurturing African comedy and is committed to elevating local comedic talent while bridging the gap between local and international comedy opportunities.
Comedy continues to emerge as Africa’s secret weapon – a tool for celebration, resilience, and unity. The annual festival is set to become a cornerstone of the local comedy scene.
