“I’m thrilled to announce the return of the Johannesburg International Comedy Festival. While we’ve been away – all sorts of craziness has gone down and the world has continued to be a funny place. What better way to laugh at all the goings-on than to do so with some of the funniest men and women performing in comedy today,” JICF founder and director Takunda Bimha said in a press statement.
A full list of acts and extra information will be made available on the JICF website.
