Comedian Trevor Noah is one funny guy, but he reckons he has even funnier friends. So he decided to round them up and have a tour around the country.
Starting the end of next month, Trevor will be heading around the country, from Witbank to Welkom, showcasing some of the country's finest up and coming comedians.
"I'm really excited for South Africa to see the home grown talent that we have. This spectacular line-up showcases the best young comedic talent out there", said Trevor at the launch of the tour entitled NationWILD.
Trevor will be joined by seasoned comic Eugene Khoza and four rising comedians; Dillan Oliphant, Dusty Rich, Loyiso Madinga (LoyMad) and Robby Collins; on the tour he hopes will be a great opportunity for young talent to showcase their talent. “I was afforded the opportunity to perform on the biggest stages early in my career," Trevor says. " And this tour will hopefully present a great platform for these young guys to take their careers to new heights"
