THE SAVANNA COMIC’S CHOICE AWARDS PRESS LAUNCH AND NOMINEE ANNOUNCEMENT
By Siyamazi Khathola
Yesterday we attended the Press Launch and nominee announcement of the Savanna Comic’s Choice Awards at Parker's Comedy & Jive inside Monte Casino. It was definitely not ‘dry’ cause it was filled with a number of well-known comedians, even the legendary Bra Joe Mafela graced us with his presence, pity I couldn’t take a selfie with him (as proof). After much campaigning, vetting, lobbying, nail-biting and sweating, the nominees for The 4th Annual South African Savanna Comic’s Choice Awards® (CCA’s) have been announced.

If you fancy seeing a panel of ‘grill masters’ hurl comedic insults and
downright abuse at him, book your tickets from the venue.
The actual Savanna CCA ceremony takes place at The Teatro at
Montecasino on 2 August 2014. It’s a hilarious variety show, comprising
sketches, stand-up, impressionists and witty one-liners delivered by SA’s top
