Two-time Emmy-nominated and Comics’ Choice Award winner Loyiso Gola is one of South Africa’s most loved comedians – and Capetonians will get to experience him in person next month.
Returning to his home town with his new show, Unlearning, Gola challenges societal norms in his latest comedy offering at the Baxter Theatre, for an exclusive two-night offering tonight and
Saturday.
In doing so, Gola allows audiences to question everything they thought they knew about politics, race, history and more - all delivered with his signature satirical wit.
Gola, who has just returned from making his US comedy TV début on the late night TV show 50 Central - a show produced by rapper and actor 50 Cent - says he is looking forward to dazzling the Cape Town audience.
“It’s a very introspective show that deals with a lot of issues. It’s very personal, which means I draw a lot from my personal life,” he says.
The Gugulethu-born host, co-producer and writer of Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola showcased Unlearning at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival earlier this year.
He says he is currently going through “a process of personal unlearning”, which he gets to share with the audience.
“I talk about unlearning sexism, masculinity and how I view myself as a black person.”
Tickets are available via Computicket at R150 each.
