Truth be told, nothing beats a good laugh after a long day of hustle and hard work. And when it comes to our online comedians, we have to agree that Mzansi boasts of the best of them all. It is because of that we have decided to mention some of the funniest online comedians here in Mzansi who among other things, sure know how to keep us entertained.
To start us off is this YouTube sensation who, before rising to fame used to do lots and lots of online skits that made us laugh hard, and of course forget all our problems. But even now, there is no denying that Lasizwe has his way with the crowd.
Whether it is on his YouTube channel or his individual social media accounts, Sweerie is by far one of the funniest online comedians Mzansi has ever seen. This of course does not mean that he has had it easy. No, in fact, on several occasions, his comedy is not received with the same warm and hearty reception he is used to getting.
That however has not stopped Sweerie from keeping his fans entertained and we most definitely love to see it.
This Kenyan born comedian can definitely not miss on the list. Show me a bigger and funnier online comedian that can beat Elsa because sis was born to make us laugh! Her online skits are one of the funniest you’ll ever see and maybe that is because young people will always relate to what she is talking about.
Elsa is no stranger to the South African audience as she has a big following here. In 2020 she was awarded ‘Entertainer Of The Year; by GQ South Africa at the Men of the Year Awards. She also worked with some brands over here. Majimbo is one of 2020’s biggest breakout stars. Her viral videos have been featured on Comedy Central several times. She’s received praise from the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Joan Smalls, Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi, Snoop Dogg and Cassper Nyovest.
This YouTube sensation turned media personality is undoubtedly one of Mzansi’s favourite online comedians. I mean even if you don’t want to, Moshe's videos will always have a way of cracking you up! And why not when he is one of the most hilarious men in the country.
Moshe rose to stardom after his videos went viral in 2013, and since then, he has been on an unstoppable roll! Right now he works as an actor, media, presenter, MC and an influencer. We still love to follow his YouTube videos and stay up to date with his life from time to time.
Did you really think that Trevor would not make it on the list? Well think again. Having grown up in Soweto and made it big in the global space, there is no denying that Trevor is an inspiration to many if not all.
Ever since the pandemic hit, his Youtube show, “The Daily Social Distancing Show” skyrocketed now that many people were locked in their homes. Fans from all over the world got the chance to finally watch his show online and still get a scoop of what is happening around the world.
Trevor has won quite a number of awards for his great contribution to the media industry and while there have been a few times when he has been on the receiving end of quite a lot of hate and backlash, it is good to see that his career continues to soar higher and higher.
Last but not least, is Loyiso Gola, one of Africa’s most loved and popular comedians. Included in his many impressive accolades, Gola is a two-time Emmy nominated anchor for his satirical news television series, Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola, which launched in 2010 and saw 12 seasons.
Gola is also the African correspondent for Charlie Pickering’s The Weekly on ABC in Australia. Some of Gola’s noteworthy performances include his show, Tall Tales which ran at the Soho Theatre in 2015, Dude, Where’s My Lion? which ran in Edinburgh, Loyiso Gola Live in New York which was his debut US stand-up special, recorded in Brooklyn both in 2016 and the Netflix special, Comedians of the World which was released in 2019.
Clearly there is no stopping what he can do and it is good to see that his career keeps getting better and better. Upwards and onwards!
