Savanna and Showmax are excited to announce that renowned comedian Eddie Griffin will headline the Laugh Africa Comedy Festival, taking place from 5 -7 April 2024, at the Sandton Convention Centre.
This comedy extravaganza in Johannesburg will feature over 50 comedians across English, Vernacular, and Afrikaans genres.
The festival promises a diverse lineup, including local favorites such as Tumi Morake, Alfred Adriaan, Mashabela, Chris Mapane, and more. Adding a modern twist, social media comedy sensations will join traditional stand-up acts. A highlight of the event is the comedy roast of a prominent South African media personality, details to be revealed later.
Innovating the local comedy scene, the festival introduces a daily pass, offering attendees access to all shows on their ticketed day. For those unable to attend, Showmax will capture the magic with a 13-part comedy stand-up series and a 90-minute roast.
The festival’s tagline, “And Still We Laugh,” reflects its mission to provide joy and relief in unpredictable times. Stuart Taylor, the festival’s Creative Director, emphasizes comedy as Africa’s secret weapon for celebration, resilience, and unity.
