The Annual South African Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards is taking place this Saturday at The Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City with a massive spike in entries. As many as 272 South African comedians are vying for one of the 10 awards, whilst 53 entered from the continent to be crowned the Savanna Pan-African Comic of the Year. There were 17 comedians honoured in the Lifetime Achievement category.
There is also great excitement about the new category that’s been announced, The Comedy G Award. Launched to celebrate the stalwarts of the industry, it recognises the comedians who produce great comedy night after night; the ones who simply grab the mic and work the room. There is an element of luck in getting exposure as a top comic, talent doesn’t always get you to the table – the Comedy “G” is a reminder of the giants whose shoulders the lucky few get to stand on.
It takes a team of talented people and that special something to create an incredible awards show like the #SavannaCCA’s. This year’s #RhythmOfFunny show is directed by @JBobsTshabalala and co-written by @LazGola @gillog Camilo Saloojee & @Mo_Mothebe. How can you miss this?? pic.twitter.com/M9xC3aXZMf
