The night comedy went awry :: Mmegi Online

Two comedians hired to entertain the audience at the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU) Awards, the BOMU awards seem to have raffled feathers with their carefree jokes, which were also beamed live to many households, thanks to Botswana Television (Btv).

Listening to Gabz fm the following morning, one could hear caller after caller, lambasting the comedians for their insensitivity. The duo trade by the name Laugh A Little Laugh A Lot, and they are known in comedy circles as just Bobo Rib Cracker (Bobo Letsatsi) and MOD (Modiri Keseobetswe). The latter was also the Master of Ceremonies (MC) of the show, while his friend would chip in-between to tickle the audience with laughter.

Interestingly, both are the chairman and secretary general of the Association of Comedy in Botswana, and they have been tasked by the Ministry of Youth, Sport Culture to coordinate and promote comedy in the country.
