The South African Comedy industry is like cricket in Mzansi they produce good cricket players in this case good comedians however, we don’t have job opportunities for them. All the 20 comics that came through a New Comer category over the years where are they TODAY?
As the comedy industry continues growing, coming and emerging from the post-pandemic, we need to create opportunities for these young comedians to thrive. Even these young comics coming out of age need a paradigm shift and start doing things in unconventional ways to build their brands.
The Comics Choice Awards is doing a great job to put a spotlight and raising the profile of young comedians however these young comedians needs to take responsibility and accountability to build theirs own careers and take their brands to another level.
Comedy pioneer and global star and television host Trevor Noah created a blue print on how to become a global phenomenon and star, what’s failing these young cats to copy and implement that strategy and build themselves.
The formula for making progress in one person’s career is out there, Trevor and Black Coffee created that recipe for success but most South Africans in the arts are scared and terrified to follow that blueprint and become big and successful in their respective careers, instead they play politics and hate people that are successful amd making moves.
