Loyiso Gola to launch Podium Comedy Series

The series will not only feature the best of South Africa's local comedians but top international acts as well: Loyiso Gola, Mel Miller, Trevor Noah, Riaad Moosa, Kagiso Lediga, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, Katt Williams, Dylan Moran and more.

According to Mark Harris, content and marketing head for Nu Metro Cinemas, the company will “be able to offer our customers the best in stand-up comedy this country has to offer as well as top class international acts. These events will initially take place as a one-night only show every month.”

The first show will feature the very successful one-man show Loyiso Gola for President. His unique sense of humour and affinity towards openly frank and observational commentary has made him one of South Africa's most talented comedians. At the age of 25, he has won a South African Comedy Award as well as having been nominated for the Best Comedian of the Year Award at the Stars of Mzansi Awards 2008.
