Major Moves Comedy is back and their first event of the year is slated for February 13. 

Dubbed the Cracker Night Comedy, the show is bringing non-stop laughter to comedy enthusiasts, featuring Botswana’s most funny and acclaimed stand-up comedian Bafana ‘Ribcracker’ Letsatsi, alongside his top comedian friends while also introducing upcoming comics.

Major Moves events coordinator, Gaolatlhe Kediemetse said the theme for the upcoming Cracker Night Comedy is: Food, Love and Laughter, coinciding with Valentine’s Day and would be headlined by female comics Rekunde, Mosetsana and newcomer KB. 

He said KB would debut her act in Gaborone and would be given workshops by top Botswana comedians including host of the show Ribcracker, who is also the chairperson of Comedy for the Nation of Botswana (COFONABO), an association responsible for development of comedy in the country. 

Kediemetse noted that Ribcracker, who has shared the stage with top South African comics among them Trevor Noah, Barry Hilton, Mashabela Galane, Roni Modimola, Sifiso Nene, among others would impart pertinent knowledge to the new comer. 

He said there was still a huge gap left for female comics to fill in Botswana, while he hoped by roping in Rekunde and Mosetsana would encourage more talented female comedians to come up and showcase their skills. 

Meanwhile, also on the roster will be Molepolole based Jerusalema, who is a versatile comedian on stage with a good mixture of quick wit, topical and observational humor. 

The show will also feature veteran Jakes, Moshi, Phenyo ‘The Master’ and Peter from Zimbabwe. ENDS
