Soul Food Comedy opens on a high

Tuesday, February 04, 2014

Soul Food Comedy premiered on a high note last weekend. The show, which was held at Georges Pub in Broadhurst, Gaborone attracted a large audience to witness the first round of stand up comedy.

Following auditions from the previous week where a large number of hopefuls came to try their luck, only six poets made it through to the competition. This is where the overall winner stands a chance to walk away with P2,000 and other great prizes yet to be confirmed.
