Taking place on Sunday afternoon, 19 May 2019 at The Soweto Theatre, twenty-four emerging, talented comedians from across the country will be given five minutes in front of the packed theatre to deliver the best comedy routine they’ve got, all in the hopes of being crowned at this year’s Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards (CCA’s) later on this year. The Savanna Newcomer Showcase aims to promote and encourage up-and-coming comics in South Africa.
It’s always a hoot as newcomers stand proud, belt out their punchlines and relish in the applause of a sold-out crowd. Of course, you get the odd one or two that bomb too, but that’s all part of the fun. As the first in a series of this year’s events rolled out by the CCA’s, The Savanna Newcomer Showcase is a platform created by longstanding comedy partners Savanna Premium Cider and the Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards to give up-and-coming comedians their time to shine, and to give the industry an inkling of who to vote for.
The Savanna Newcomer Showcase party kicks off earlier in the outdoor precinct of the theatre with Kaya FM DJ’s spinning chilled Sunday beats with great food and drink, also included in your ticket.
‘It’s all about creating an unmissable afternoon of comedy, new friendships and good times’, comments Diego Jacobs, Savanna’s Brand Activation Manager. ‘This year we have gourmet food trucks and are creating an epic party buzz outside before the comedy starts indoors, it’s the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon’.
It’s sold out every year, so hurry and book your seats.
Tickets are R250 and include a Savanna Premium Cider and a meal Click here
