    Savanna unveils the 2019 Newcomer Showcase lineup

    This group of funny men and women come from seven of our nine provinces. There was an unprecedented number of registrations this year with a total of 35 newcomers in the category, with 11 additional comedians still eligible to be voted for but will not be performing on the night.

    For many of these 24 comedians, the Savanna Newcomer Showcase will be their first time performing to a large live audience and they will each have five minutes to deliver their punchlines before being ushered off. The Savanna Newcomer Showcase was created to give these new comedians a stage to show the industry and comedy-loving public what they’re made of. Their performance will go some way towards the final industry voting, which will determine who the five nominees will be in this category at the Comics' Choice Awards.

    Tickets are R250 and include a Savanna Premium Cider and a meal. Click here to get your tickets.
