Major Moves Comedy is back with an all-female lineup for the next installment of the #NotSoDryComedyTour. Following success of the past 2 installments, the Queens of Comedy event will showcase female comics from different countries who will share the stage with local heavyweights. The stellar lineup includes female comedians from Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe who will take to the stage at Protea Hotel Gaborone Masa Square on Friday the 9th of August.
The event aims to showcase the best Queens of comedy in a relaxed and buoyant environment. The rib cracking lineup features Mbali Gudazi (South Africa), Tanya Alex (Zimbabwe), alongside Botswana’s Queens Kelekwang ‘Rekunde’ Mophaleng, Ponalo ‘Van G’ Ngwanawamonna, Mamito and Lebo ‘English’ Lekgowa. Queens of comedy will also bring upcoming female comedians to the forefront as new comedians will be introduced and given a chance to share stage with the established acts.
Mbali Gudazi is a 2-time nominee for the prestigious Savanna Comics Choice Awards. She is one of the busiest comedians in Johannesburg and brings clean, high energy, fun and clever comedy. Rekunde is definitely one of the funniest and most active female comedians to come out of Botswana. The maun born comedian has graced many events and has being engaged by corporate where she always leaves the audience in stiches. Lebo English is a firebrand in the local comedy circles and always delivers spectacular performances. Harare’s premier female comedian Tanya Alex is determined to scale the heights and take comedy to another level. A raw gem from the capital city, she is one of the stand-up comedians that always stands out wherever she performs
“We are excited to be hosting the all-female lineup during the #NotSoDryComedyTour. We want to develop and encourage female participation in the comedy industry as currently we have very few Batswana female comedians. Queens of Comedy offers a platform for local comedians and international comics to collaborate to find different challenges faced and come up with ways that can greatly improve female participation.” said events coordinator for Major Moves Comedy Gaolathe Kediemetse. The venue sponsor is Masa Square Hotel and tickets are available at Webtickets & Spar outlets priced from P150 single and P200 double. The shows start at 8pm.
