Top local comedy specials to watch for Heritage Day

Heritage Day this year falls on a Sunday (September 24), which means we’re heading for a long weekend, with the holiday being observed on Monday.

Whether you’re prepping for a weekend with the best “lit-uation” (lit situation), to spend time with family or crack open a few cold ones over a lekker braai, we’ve found the perfect way for you to celebrate being proudly South African this Heritage weekend. By combining our nation’s great sense of humour with the chilled vibes of a long weekend, we’ve rounded up a list of the best local stand-up comedy specials for you to indulge in.
