🌟 Support 1 - Lazola Gola
Meet Lazola Gola, the guy who first brought the laughs to Cape Town, then packed his humour for Johannesburg. You might have caught his comedic brilliance on Comedy Central's "Live At Parkers" and "Roast Battle." But Lazola isn't just a funny face on screen; he's the creative force behind the humour on 'Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola' and SABC 2’s 'The Bantu Hour,' both performing and crafting clever lines.
Beyond the local scene, Lazola has taken his humour global, gracing stages at the Comedy Central International Comedy Festival and the Johannesburg International Comedy Festival. When he's not on stage, Lazola flexes his funny muscles as a copywriter for FCB Johannesburg and Ogilvy Johannesburg – because why not bring the humour to the office too? And here's the punchline: Lazola has a shelf full of comedic accolades, including an International Emmy nomination, two Comics Choice nods, and the prestigious Pendoring Gold. As he continues to ride the waves of humor into the future, Lazola Gola invites you to join the laughter-filled journey. Get ready for more chuckles and a few surprises! 🎉
🌟 Support 2 - Dylan Skews
Dylan Skews, a rising star in South Africa's comedy scene, has been crafting laughter for three years. He claimed victory at the Nandos Comedy Showdown in 2009 and earned the title "Cape Town's next comedian" at Phat Joe’s comedy show in 2010. Recently, he dazzled audiences with his one-man show "SKEWS ME," written, directed, and performed on Broadway, earning rave reviews and packing the house.
Trained as an actor, Dylan effortlessly weaves charm through performance-rich sketches. His laid-back yet edgy style, combined with a unique delivery, invites the audience into the hilarious thoughts in his head. From elaborate impersonations to a broad range of jokes touching on observational material and personal experiences, Dylan's comedic style is a hybrid of one-liner hedonist Mitch Hedberg and the outlandish Richard Pryor. Dylan's craft is characterised by a pursuit of good comedy without an overt axe to grind, offering a captivating blend of edgy city boy antics and pure accessible fun. Don't miss the chance to experience the comedy journey of this talented and entertaining performer! 🎤
