As a brand committed to offering our consumers premium experiences, Savanna Premium
Cider is taking South African comedy to the next level of funny by seamlessly infusing the dry
and crisp taste of Savanna, with the dry, tongue-in-cheek approach, that it’s known for.
Savanna Newcomers is bringing all the lags this Sunday the 26th of January 2025, at the
Maslow Hotel, Sandton Johannesburg, where comedy fans will be treated to non-stop rolling on the floor with laughter moments.
It’s not just an event that’s designed to provide a platform for emerging comics to showcase
their talent, it’s a once in-a-lifetime chance for comedians to drop their side-splitting one-liners
that will nurture the next generation of creative minds and expose them to a new world of
comedy.
The Savanna Newcomers Showcase has become a much-anticipated event on the annual
comedy calendar and is frequently attended by renowned local comedians, talent agents, and
scouts. This allows not only the top five, but all newcomers to be discovered and elevate their
careers by proving that they can tickle a funny bone or two.
Tumi Morake, the Queen of comedy, will be stepping up to the mic as the host for The Savanna
Newcomer Showcase, while our twenty up-and-coming comedians will each perform a
five-minute set that will hopefully crack the audience into a laughter that will win them the crown.
“As a brand, we believe in the power of laughter to bring people together,” said Kolosa Kokolo
– Brand Manager: Savanna Premium Cider. By supporting the Newcomer Showcase, we are
investing in the future of comedy and encouraging the next generation of talent to rise and
shine. We are excited to be part of an initiative that not only entertains but also enriches our
cultural landscape. Raise your Savanna Premium Cider as we toast to the top 20 Newcomers
