Last week, Jazz 24/7 hosted the first edition of Laugh Out Harare Stand-up Comedy show hosted by Doc Vikela. The second edition of the show saw a bloated number of comedians including Gonyeti and Maggie from BUSTOP TV, fast rising comedian Tinaye, King Kandoro and many other comedians.
Gonyeti who is slowly becoming a seasoned comedian kicked off the show in style mocking former Third Generation band member Baba Harare who unfortunately had left the venue before turning to her regular joke she does not date poor man whom she refers to as her brothers.
The host Doc Vikela gave the comedy fans an over dose of jokes while many others some facing the public for the first did not disappoint.
Entertainment Manager, Yasin Dhala said the platform is for all comedians to show case their talent.
“We saw that comedy fans don’t have a place where they will visit and have time to enjoy, this is the reason why we created this platform,” said Dhala.
He added that the show will be running every Tuesdays hosted by Doc Vickela with lots of surprises in store for comedy lovers.
The show was attended by comedy lovers from around Harare including Baba Harare, Joe Njangu and many others.
