Back with a bang! The Johannesburg International Comedy Festival (JICF) returns with yet another mouth-watering feast of comedy taking place over six hilariously jam-packed days.
Having just showcased its mini-festival brand, Covid Relief in October last year, this year’s JICF festival promises to be one of the most exciting celebrations of comedy on the continent for 2022!
Proudly brought to you in partnership with SABC2 and in association with the Department of Arts & Culture, JICF is set to deliver some desperately needed laughs this year, offering some much needed comedic relief during yet another pandemic year.
This year’s much-anticipated JICF line-up includes the likes of Jason Goliath, Mpho Popps, Tats Nkonzo, Conrad Koch, Robby Collins, Suhayl Essa, Tracey-Lee Oliver, Isabella Jane, Loyiso Madinga, KG Mokgadi, Ndumiso Lindi, Thabiso Mhlongo, Kate Pinchuck, Chris Forrest, Bash with Tash, Rob van Vuuren and Carvin Goldstone to name just a few.
Continental acts confirmed thus far are African giants Salvado (Uganda), Q Dube (Zimbabwe) and Akau Jambo (Sudan) who are set to impress Johannesburg audiences with their unique Afrocentric style of comedy.
This unique comedy showcase will also involve panel discussions, podcasts, behind the scenes digital content, photo ops and after-show drinks – all of which fans can partake in throughout the six-day laughter and entertaining experience. The age restriction for all comedy shows is 18 years old.
JICF takes place at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton and Theatre on The Square from Thursday, March 24 to Tuesday, March 29 2022. Tickets range at R200 each from www.webtickets.co.za
