MBABANE – Obviously, there are not many reasons or occasions to laugh at the
moment.
With the coronavirus spreading across the globe, it can be difficult to find
humour in anything, particularly the random attempts at diversion and hack
topical jokes that might pop on your social media feed. Don’t these people
know there’s a pandemic going on? and yet sometimes you need to laugh.
That’s just how this stuff works.
After attracting more than 5 000 subscribers on YouTube, Smalllz the comedian,
S’lwane and gogo will be hosting their first online comedy show dubbed
‘Hopes and bottomless laughter in times of COVID-29’.
This was confirmed by Smallz, whose real name is Lungelo Gina in an interview
with the Entertainment Desk.
He said the purpose of the event was to create awareness on  the coronavirus
pandemic and to also bring a bit of laughter.
The event will be screened live on May 1, 2020 on their on their website,

“This show has been created to cater for emotional needs in light of the
coronavirus pandemic. We want to deliver giggles and laughter as we very well
know how much we all need it. It is a show curated in full honesty of the
realities this crisis will plunge us in terms of  retrenchments, closed
businesses among many other emotional ruins - and we thought, what better way to
help us heal a bit other than just what the doctor prescribed,” he said.
The event will also see the performance of the newly-added talented members of
the group, Bongiswa Masondo and fuse of music by Luswiba.
“As usual, our people must expect premium quality stand-up comedy delivered by
the talented quartet of Smallz the Comedian, S’lwane, Gogo and Bongiswa. They
will also enjoy a performance by  the young talented wordsmith , Festival B and
some beautiful music by the next best thing in the Eswatini music scene,

‘‘It will be an overall beautiful experience created precisely for you at
the comfort of your home,” said Smallz.
He went on to add that the show was also dedicated to all the health workers and
other departments that were on the front line in fighting the pandemic.
“It is a powerful segment dedicated to our much-appreciated front-liners; the
doctors and nurses who have steered the ship in the thick of all emotional
strains. We want them to know that  we love them and we greatly appreciate
them,” he shared.

It is worth noting that the event organisers will not be getting any profit
compared to a live show. With the show they will be able to connect with their
followers.
“Our biggest take home from this show is not monetary, but it is the
satisfaction of knowing that we shared our rich talents. This show which we
believe will leave many of us comforted and knowing that in our little efforts,
we were there for each other in the toughest of times. The feeling of knowing
you helped someone forget their pains even if it is for a second is priceless to
us,” he said
The event will also serve as a launch to their website, a project they have been
working on for over the past six months; ‘a website through which our
community will get access to quite a catalog of our work including their
signature videos and other concepts that will be announced’.
