Hall of Fame Award

The Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards made its return on Saturday night after a three-year hiatus.

The 10th edition of the local comedy awards, held at The Galleria in Sandton, celebrated the “best in comedy and comedic content creators”.

The award ceremony was hosted by comedy heavyweight Loyiso Gola.

Each winner did five minutes of stand-up, instead of an acceptance speech, which ensured the audience was kept in stitches.

The Savanna Comics' Choice Comedy Awards will be broadcast on Me (DStv 115) on Saturday, 13 May at 19:00.
