EZULWINI – “Comedy has never been this lit.” These were sentiments of some
of the people who attended the ‘Eswatini Must Laugh’ show on Friday, at the
Happy Valley Hotel in Ezulwini.
The line-up was quite interesting with four locals collaborating with two South
Africans to make the people of Eswatini laugh their lungs out.
The comedy scene has come alive in the country as tickets were sold out days
before the show.
Thembela Mamba was the first act to take to the stage and tickled some tummies
with some local flavoured jokes that left the crowd begging for more.
The MC, Tumi Stopnonsons aka Jumaima Matila, a comedian who hails from South
Africa, engaged the crowd in his set and not a single soul went home without
sore stomach muscles.
“Laughter is good for the soul,” they say, but the Friday show had some
stomach muscles flexing when Mdura, Dr. Shakes and Bongiswa took the stage by
storm. Thenjiwe Moseley, who has hosted comedy shows in the kingdom before, did
what she does best with her hilarious but educative jokes which had people
laughing out loud.
Bongiswa, another upcoming local took to the stage and earned his comedian
status with his fiery zest, which also left the crowd in stitches.

His appearance complemented his set as some thought he was a bit insane.
The MC kept the audience glued to their seats with his breathtaking jokes that
touched on the different struggles people go through.
Dr Shakes, the king of memes also brought his A game and left the crowd yearning
for more.
The man of the night with a heart of gold Mduduzi ‘Mdura’ Dlamini shut it
down with his really imaginative jokes.
The night ended on a high note, with comedy lovers taking pictures with the
finest local comedians and of course with the MC Stopnonsons who really gave
comedy lovers a good run for their money.
