Now in its 12th year, The Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards celebrates SA’s best comedians.
It’s called ‘Comics’ Choice’, because comedians vote for comedians – they review the entries and choose who gets nominated.
Two of the 10 categories go out for public voting once the nominees are announced in February 2025.
The awards? Think of them as the Oscars, but for those brave souls who chose punchlines over poignant pauses. Established to benefit the comedy industry, the awards give recognition to those who choose comedy as their career, and ensure that SA’s comedy scene is recognised as globally competitive, healthy and thriving.
We bring the entire industry together to celebrate their peers and we want everyone else to celebrate them too.
Public VOTING

Congratulations to all the nominees! We’ll see you at the awards event on 13 April the Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City, Johannesburg.
VOTING CLOSED ON 31 MARCH 2024.
