This year’s edition of the Laugh African Comedy Festival is not to be missed.

The action begins on Friday (2 May) with the Laugh Africa Comedy All Stars featuring Griff from the USA, Rob van Vuuren and Celeste Ntuli.

It also includes the highly anticipated Showmax Roast of Helen Zille. 

“I think her advisors around her were horrified when they found out that she had agreed to do this. We are so excited.”

– Stuart Taylor, Creative Director – Laugh Africa Comedy Festival

Days two and three are just as exciting, with American comedian and ‘Mr Bones’ actor Faizon Love as the headliner. 

You can also catch Mzansi’s very own Robby Collins, Nina Hastie, Felix Hlope and many more.

“It’s going to be a massive weekend of comedy, three days… we want to build something that we want to tote as Africa’s largest comedy festival.” 

– Stuart Taylor, Creative Director – Laugh Africa Comedy Festival

The Laugh Africa Comedy Festival runs from 2 to 4 May at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

Tickets are still available here.
