The boisterous trio – made up of Buhle Mda, Luphindo Ngxanga and Ntsika Fana Ngxanga – hail from Soweto, and their love of their country and its rich culture is the driving force behind their hauntingly beautiful lyrics and distinct sound.

Kicking off the festivities, Riaad Moosa will get the Joker's July festival off to a flying start. From entertaining fans online with his virtual comedy club to gracing the big screens in the hit film, New Material, comedy heavyweight Dr Riaad Moosa has certainly kept us entertained for the past two years. But there isn’t anything quite like a live stage experience, and Riaad Moosa is back into the swing of things since the pandemic. He brings his best comedic offerings to the stage with a snapshot into his life. Riaad’s relatable brand of comedy makes him a fan-favourite for all ages and the show is one that people will relate to on different levels.
Carvin Goldstone – That’s The Thing

After two years, Durban’s most decorated comedy export, Carvin Goldstone, returns to Joburg with a bunch of stories from Covid, looting and floods and with a few new comedy characters including Uncle Juggie, everyone’s favourite phone Uncle, and Shandre’s mother, who is always asking him to check on her younger siblings while mum is at work. Carvin is a multiple award-winning comic including winning the 2020 SA Comedy Show of the Year award at the SA Comedy Awards for his show, LifeStories, on DSTV and Showmax.
Alan Committie – Love Factually
Date: Friday, 22 July 2022 – Saturday, 23 July 2022 from 20:00
The hilarious exploration of The Battle Of The Sexes (and the exes) continues in 2022. Committie is the ideal comedian to unpack the complex and nuanced new gender landscape and examining the world and dynamics of relationships. With a comic, honest and sometimes even touching look at couples, Committie explores the daft differences between men and women; the foibles and quirks of marriage and dating – and will even finally try to provide the right answers to those loaded questions like “Do I look fat?” or “Would you prefer to go to the cricket or spend the day with me and my mom!?”. You’re going to love this fresh take on why it’s okay for men and women to be different... or the same... or in transition. Plus, a special guest appearance by part-time security guard and full-time relationship guru, Johann van der Walt.
Joey & His Faves: Joey Rasdien, Dillan Oliphant, Mo Mothebe
Date: Saturday, 30 July 2022 from 20:00
What better way to end off the month’s hilarious antics, than with funnyman, Joey Rasdien and some of his favourite people, Dillan Oliphant and Mo Mothebe. Joey Rasdien’s endearing stage persona is intellectually absurd, physically hysterical and thought-provoking. He not only makes you laugh, but makes you think as well. Dillan is best known for his flawless delivery of unique dead-pan one-liner comedy. His laidback and nonchalant stage presence coupled with his unnervingly clever jokes makes him a firm fan favourite. The comedy bug bit Mo Mothebe in matric, when he started hosting assemblies, impersonating teachers and doing sketches, but he nearly became an economist instead of a comedian. This tranquil young comic has a passion for stand-up comedy and has constantly left audiences yearning for more.
