Jive Cape Town Funny Festival

Jive Cape Town
Funny Festival

The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival has been the Mother City’s antidote to the winter blues for over 20 years.

The giggle-fest has been packing in comedy loving crowds since its inception in 1997.

Every June (never during Ramadan, of course), the Baxter Theatre transforms into a laugh factory bringing together some of South Africa’s favourite comics and top variety acts from around the globe.

This unique recipe has proven to be a great success, and many audience members return for a double dose of chuckles during the season.
