The heat is on! South Africa’s personality Somizi “SomGaga” Mhlongo, has been named Roastmaster for the highly anticipated Comedy Central Roast of Pearl Thusi.
Set to air on Comedy Central (DStv Channel 122) at 9 PM CAT on 8 December 2024, Somizi is ready to bring his signature flair, biting wit, and unapologetic sass to the stage.
As a former Roastee and panelist on Kenny Kunene's Roast, Somizi is no stranger to the fiery atmosphere of these comedic showdowns. From acting and presenting to choreographing and judging on Idols SA, Somizi has become a cultural cornerstone, known for stirring things up and keeping audiences captivated.
Reflecting on his new role, Somizi teased, "Pearl and I know the spotlight well, but this is her first time in the Roast hot seat. Trust me, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Will her polished demeanour hold, or will the flames crack her composure? Either way, I’m pulling out all the stops to make this Roast unforgettable!”
The final panel include TV and radio personality Phat Joe, platinum-selling singer-songwriter Zee Nxumalo, and R&B sensation Donald, comedian David Kau, Zodwa Wabantu, Idols judge Randall Abrahams, singer Busiswa, and comic Farieda “Pharoahfi” Metsileng. But that’s not all! Comedy legends Rob van Vuuren and Tol Ass Mo, alongside award-winning actress Mam’ Lillian Dube, will also join in on the fun.
Don’t miss the chaos, comedy, and candid moments. Tune in for a night to remember on December 8th at 21:00 CAT!
