Ever since the notion of ‘trending’ emerged on social media, it has become a global obsession – everyone wants to ‘trend’, everyone wants to see what’s ‘trending’! So that’s right, get ready to hit those comedy hashtags when Trending Comics comes to town!
Trending Comics is a spin-off of the Johannesburg International Comedy Festival. With the aspiration to give Africa a representative on the international comedy festival circuit, JICF is fast achieving global recognition in the manner it brings together comedians from all over the world to perform alongside the very best local and continental talent. The 3rd edition of JICF will be held in March 2018. As stand up comedy continues to explode locally, Trending Comics will give the broader South African audience a taste and feel of the Festival experience.
The tour started in Cape Town this weekend and hits the 031 Comedy Club in Morningside @ S43, Home to THAT Brewing Co., Durban on Saturday and Sunday, October 28 and 29 before closing the curtain on this inaugural edition at The Goliath Comedy Club in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg on Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 4.

More colourful and way more fun –we are proudly partnering with Trending Comics to keep you laughing and create unforgettable Tall Horse moments of comedy.”
Says Festival director, Takunda Bimha, who previously managed Trevor Noah, Loyiso Gola, Kagiso Lediga and others as the founder of Podium Comedy: “We are incredibly excited to be presenting a tour that consists of the comedians who are not only ‘trending’ right now but also represent the bright future of South African comedy! There has also been an emergence of world class comedy clubs all over the country and we are excited to be taking comedy directly to the people at the very epicentre of where comedy is originated, crafted and perfected! A huge shout goes out to Tall Horse Wines whose stoic support of local comedy has made this tour happen and its great to have Trace TV on board to partner with us on this adventure!”
