Earlier this week, 2oceansVibe columnist, Sipho Hlongwane, had the local comedy circuit up in arms over a column titled “Where Are All The Good Comedians?”, which was strongly critical of the state of comedy in South Africa. The column triggered a vehement response from fans of local comedy, and many comedians themselves. Loyiso Gola, the main subject of Hlongwane’s column even wrote an incendiary reply to 2oceansVibe. Yesterday evening, Sipho accepted an invitation by acclaimed comedians Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans, to chat live on 2oceansVibe Radio’s Drive Time Robbery.
Click through for a hardcore, frank and entertaining chat over the state of SA comedy, from two different sides of the table.
Please forgive the poor quality of the recording for the first minute. It gets significantly better 😉
