The highly acclaimed show brought along South Africa's award winning Sifiso Nene, Daniel Friedman who goes by the stage name 'Deep Fried Man' and Pele Pele from Soweto who replaced another class act Matshabela Galane.
Sifiso Nene who is no stranger to the local audience stole many comedy lovers' hearts with his unique stand up acts.
Nene who has many accolades to his name including winning the audience choice award at the South African Comics Choice Awards in 2012 and 2013, and also a winner of reality show, So You Think You're Funny has found a second home in the country.
The pint-sized funny man had the audience in stitches with his close to home jokes that the audience could relate to as he even took chances to break the usual stereotypes between blacks and the white community. Known for his appearances with a guitar on e-tv's Loyiso Gola's weekly comedy shows, award winning comedian Deep Fried Man's weird and funny blend of comedy and music has put him among South Africa's top comics and won him awards and performances at some of the biggest and best comedy events around the world.
His lyrical music fused with funny lines of comedy is too funny to ignore and he does it so well with his skill on the guitar that it is impossible to not help but laugh to his rendition especially in reference to women and love.
Deep Fried Man who has gained popularity in shows like the Jozi Comedy Festival and Blacks Only have a very unique style of blending comedy with music into a comic stripe that he stands out so uniquely among the rest.
Pele Pele is another hot comic who brought a fresh air to the show being the first timer to the audience and the local comedy circle; he established his mark, as the audience seemed to have warmed up to him through his performance.
Judging by the audience's reaction to his performance if it anything to go by, Pele Pele can be sure of his return to the local comedy shows for more, as he was impressive in his short stint non-stop laughter overdose. The show also had some of the regular heavyweights of the Laff-a-Lot show who need no introduction when it comes to local comedy including Modiri 'Mod' as the host, Charles Manase from Zimbabwe, Bafana 'Ribcracker' Letsatsi and Paphani 'Paps' Masalila and Jacob 'Jakes' Tshweneyagae.
