Johannesburg International Comedy Festival bring you one of the biggest independent international comedy festival in Africa
|||Key to its mandate, the #JICF Coalition will be to host the Johannesburg International Comedy Festival from 4th-6th November 2016 in the precincts of Braamfontein and Newtown. Mayor in waiting Wonderboy, plans to complete the long race to transformation in the inner city through a clear ownership of ‘the funny’ over the course of the festival.
While Johannesburg waits with baited breath for news of the recent coalition talks, a dramatic turn of events has emerged.
Former presidential candidate, Wonderboy, has humbly accepted the mandate to serve as the Johannesburg Executive Mayor. He has single-handedly been responsible for the formation of the #JICF Coalition, whose first order of business will be to #DeclareTheFunny
This festival has been reported to be the biggest independent international comedy festival in Africa, and will bring together over 50 local, continental, and international ‘councilors, comrades and experts’, performing in 13 shows across 6 venues, in a 3-day comedy caucus.
