Goliath & Goliath at the Lyric

AWEdnesday was born three years ago and has been held the last Wednesday of every month come rain or shine. Goliath & Goliath at the Lyric will feature eight top-notch comedians, for a two-and-a-half-hour-long show, and will include comedians Conrad Koch/Chester Missing, Trevor Gumbi, Stuart Taylor, Richelieu Beaunior and, of course, Donovan, Jason and Nicholas Goliath who will all take to the stage.

Starting out with a small club gig called AWEdnesday they now run six comedy gigs across Joburg. They have created a very welcomed platform for aspiring comedians and legends as well as a space for all comedy lovers new and old. Their mission to increase the profile and accessibility of comedy in South Africa has certainly been accomplished.

Goliath & Goliath started with the three Goliath boys and a Goliath girl. Donovan, Jason and Nicholas and their boss lady, Kate Goliath, and have grown to include nine comedians in their stable.

Five comedians out of their team of nine were nominated at the Savannah Comics Choice Awards earlier this year. Loyiso Madinga, Alfred Adriaan and Glen Biderman-Pam were nominated in the Best Newcomer category with Loyiso being named winner. Jason Goliath and Donovan Goliath have been nominated in the Best Breakthrough category. This was the third nomination in a row for both Jason and Donovan.
