Comedy Central Africa, the continent’s only dedicated comedy channel, is celebrating its tenth year anniversary. The channel has been the ‘home of funny’ since its inception in December 2011, bringing viewers the finest in local and international comedy. It has had a front-row seat as one of the few platforms that have given comedians a platform to showcase their artistry to a Pan-African audience and has hosted many iconic moments.
Some of the most talented local comedians will be sharing their most memorable Comedy Central moments and the channel’s impact on their careers and the industry as a whole as part of the 10th-anniversary celebration. In addition, viewers will also be treated to exclusive content featuring sitcoms, stand-up specials, and movies on Comedy Central Africa (DStv Channel 122) during the anniversary celebrations.
According to Dillon Khan, Vice President of Comedy Central Africa,” the past ten years, have witnessed local comedy grow from strength to strength, with Comedy Central investing in local content and talent, by giving comedians a platform to showcase their talents.” We’re committed to pushing local comedy to even higher heights, and we guarantee to bring only the best of what the industry has to offer to our viewers.”
Suppose the past ten years are any indication. In that case, Comedy Central Africa viewers can anticipate nothing but the best of local comedy in 2022, as the channel promises to make life even funnier.
Africa is finally ready for another ‘Roast’ after a lengthy global struggle with COVID. There are plans in the works to bring back the classic celebrity event. Viewers can also look forward to a brand new digital short-form series that is sure to make them laugh out loud on their digital pages. The home of sitcoms is also teasing their first-ever local sitcom, with additional details to be announced in the coming year.
Over the years, Comedy Central has established itself as the go-to channel for all things funny, be it local or international.
Comedy Central Africa will be showing the 10th-anniversary celebrations on the channel’s social media platforms and DStv Channel 122.
