SA’s funniest; Savanna Comics Choice Awards nominees

Wondering who are the funniest and most happening comedians in South Africa right now? We bring you all the most happening names in local comedy circles that are vying for top honours in the 2023 Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards.

One of the amazing things that make us uniquely South African is our ability to laugh at ourselves regardless of our race, varying cultures and religious beliefs, a quality which make our rainbow nation so fabulous. The Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards seeks to celebrate this and more, while casting the spotlight on SA’s biggest and funniest comedians, as well as comedy stars of tomorrow.

Last week, South Africa’s popular comedy brand announced a list of nominees that continue to shape our ever evolving comedy landscape, with new media creating more ways for comedians to reach the masses, meeting different kinds of audiences wherever they are – be it in comedy clubs and cafes, or online.  

What with the rise of equally competitive content creators, who are making sure they stand out from the rest by coming up with clmpelling creative content; and if that means leaning more towards humour, so be it.

Not only that, more big name brands are utilizing these creatives to pioneer content in a way that helps them both develop unique brands and charm consumers.

Leveling up the game by coming up with compelling creative content, Gino The Craftsman is vying for ‘Funny Influencer Content’ honour.
