With the likes of Celeste
Ntuli the headliner at The Zone, popularly referred to as the
queen of Zulu comedy and known for being one of the first female comics to
record a one-woman show. She was
supported by a stellar line-up: Khanyisa, Jam Jam as well as Botshabelo’s
Tumelo Mohlokoane, affectionately known as ColdFire. Together with the host,
Chris Mapane – one of South Africa’s finest funny acts. This line-up had the
audience in stitches throughout the night.

The dose of laughter at The Other Venue
featured “The Big Jam”- Jam Jam, Kgabane
Moloi and Hannes Bru¨mmer, with the host being Shanray van Wyk – yet another
comedy giant in the making. Halfway through the show the patrons bore witness
to a heckler claiming to be from the Eastern Cape, blowing her gasket, after
Bru¨mmer cracked a joke about a funny event in East London. But Bru¨mmer handled
the Eastern Cape heckler like a pro and took it in his stride.
