He is South Africa’s infamous Xhosa speaking comic, Loyiso Gola returns to the South African stage with a revamped “Professional Black”, which took the country by storm last year hits the Joburg Theatre stage on Tuesday 30th April, ready to push boundaries and go further than it ever has before.“The title of my show alone ignites curiosity and provokes debate. Given the air time that the words ‘Professional Black’ has received in the South African media in recent times – people will have their preconceived notions and assumptions about the title means”, remarks Gola. “The show highlights these and many other stereotypes that we have in our country today – many of them nonsensical and absurd. In my own comedic way, I’ll not only debunk them but illuminate how ridiculous they are. For me comedy needs to hold up a mirror to society and allow us to find humour in our differences and flaws.” Tickets are on sale now from the Joburg State Theatre: http://www.joburgtheatre.com/ from R120. Tuesday tickets are half price.
