Soul Food Comedy opens on a high

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. 

Speaking to the organiser, spoken word artist Maya Roze told Showbiz that the competition has identified comedy as a growing art form in Botswana, but is not receiving its deserved attention.  She said as a result the competition plans on changing this norm and giving it the platform it deserves.
