More about The Roast of Minnie Dlamini

‘I ended off the year with my show ‘Curated’ on Mzansi Magic, embracing humour about myself and societal happenings,’ explains Minnie. ‘The roast is about having fun and not taking myself too seriously. I may also get an opportunity to dispel many of the rumours told about me. The roast is fundamentally a celebration of my career and there’s nothing I love more than a good laugh.’

The Roast panel promises a star-studded lineup and the entire session will be recorded to air exclusively on Showmax on 26 April 2024.

‘With the Showmax Roast of Minnie Dlamini, we aim to curate an experience that embodies this spirit,’ says Stuart Taylor, Laugh Africa Comedy Festival Creative Director. ‘By selecting individuals whose journeys we admire, we ensure that each jest and jab is a testament to their impact and our affection. This approach guarantees a roast that is as heartfelt as it is hilarious, staying true to the tradition of roasting those held in high regard.’

Laugh Africa Comedy Festival will feature over 50 comedians across doing standup shows in three genres – English, Vernacular, and Afrikaans and headlined by the internationally acclaimed comedian Eddie Griffin. The festival will feature local favourites such as Eugene Khoza, Conrad Koch & Chester Missing, Jam Jam The Comedian, Mel Jones and more. For more information, click here.
