What Can I Expect From Jokers July 2023?

The month long comedy marathon kicks off with comedic sensation, Sifiso Nene, who brings you the best comedy combination to warm you up this winter. The Combo Comedy Show is set to get South Africans to share a few good laughs. Followed by The People of Colour-Ed show, which is a community meeting between family and friends, and features hilarious stories from communities like Eldorado Park, Westbury, Wentworth, Newlands East and the Cape Flats featuring some of South Africa’s funniest coloured comedians from across SA.
