The 2020 edition of the Ekurhuleni Comedy Festival, which showcases the best in vernacular comedy, will be held at Carnival City on 20 November 2020.
South African comedy fanatics have more reason to laugh with the lineup of comedians, featuring the following funny people:
Tshepo Sethosa and Hilda Sista H, who co-own Siblings Comedy, hail from Ekurhuleni and look forward to bringing their laughs to home audiences at Carnival City. Sethosa started his comedy career at the tender age of 19, sharing jawbreakers relating to his upbringing and how he became a grandfather at 22. His tongue-in-cheek delivery has audiences in stitches.
YouTube comedy sensation, Hilda Sista H’s comedy career started when she entered the second season of the So You Think You are Funny competition and made it into the top 20. She is also known for her role on eTV drama series, Isipho: The Gift.
Smowkey Nyembe, real name is Mbongiseni Nyembe, comes from Soweto where he started his comedy career in 2010 doing Premium Comedy Nyts at Ozone Pub. Having headlined Zulu and Xhosa comedy shows, he is a must-see with his raw kasi-style snobbish comedy.
Tumi Stopnonsons, known as Jumaima, was born in Diepkloof and from sleeping on the streets has become one of South Africa’s top comedians with a long list of stage achievements. He has dubbed his style of comedy as ‘new trend’ and gives a refreshing take on humour.
Last but not least, Bra Thabiso, completes the lineup as a talented vernac. comedian who has shared the stage with the likes of Trevor Gumbi and Roni Modimola.
