The Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards to Host Top African Comedians for First Time

KingKhanyi

As the pinnacle of comedy in South Africa, the Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards celebrate the best of the best in comedic talent. Along with long-term partner, Savanna Premium Cider, the focus has been on recognising and awarding local comedians. That focus is expanding as both Savanna and the Awards look toward Africa.
