But before the big guns, a number of upcoming comics were given the platform with one notable upstart dubbed Tricks appearing to give the main acts a challenge or two.
“You know there are two types of girls in Botswana,' he started.
' ‘Broilers’ and ‘Koko Ya Setswana’ (KYS).
You can tell the difference between the two when making out in bed. The Broilers scream in English and purr all romantic sounds. As for the KYS, they screams in the vernacular and call out to badimo,” Tricks joked.
TV presenter-cum-comedian Prince Macheng danced to R Kelly’s song Bump and Grind, especially the line that says “My mind is telling me no… but my body is telling me yes”. With the song playing in the background, he said men tended to use the opening line of the track when they are deciding on buying presents for their dates.
“When coming from a date at night, guys tend to park by the filling station telling their girlfriends they want to buy shoe polish or bread, yet they will be in need of condoms.
Who the hell buys polish at 11 PM?” Macheng sneered.
He added perfunctorily: 'At the till counter, these men tend to wait for everyone on the queue to leave ,then they whisper to the till operator, 'please give me a packet of condoms,' but operator in return yells out the product by name.
'Which types of condoms do you want'”. Tulani Tau quipped about Lobola. “Some families make us pay damages yet we repaired their daughters' Imagine a girl who has an ex-boyfriend called Bulldozer Khumalo.
Women tend to date men that treat them bad then move on to a nice guy who is made to pay damages.'The last act Charles Manase, went off topic, but the audience still loved his set.
He take was to doff of his hats to all drunkards in the country. They are the foundation as the state has managed to raise P 1. 8 billion from the alcohol levy. “You guys are doing well with such an amount of money. You can help the needy or better the situation in Zimbabwe”.
The cherry on top was how couples always visit each other at their respective work places. Then came the jaw-dropper: “I wonder if men that date porn stars visit their women at work”.
