As the industry leader in the supply of tailored stand-up comedy to corporate South Africa, we are perfectly placed to offer progressive, clean and socially analytical humour to the audience - or knock their socks off with weapons-grade barroom banter. Our package is world-class and distinctly South African. With the recent addition of Taffia Keight as the managing partner, a new level of corporate organization has made the business more able to handle diversified talent on a national level. Our stable of artists represents the broad spectrum of cultures found locally, we have a track record of getting original South African comedy on the global stage, having placed Artists in the UK, Canada, Dubai, Germany and Australia.
