Jive
Cape Town Funny Festival
The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival has been the Mother City’s antidote to the winter cold for over two decades and brings together some of South Africa’s favourite comics and the world’s top variety acts at the Baxter Theatre.
Every year, performers are hand-picked for the unique contribution they make to the year’s overall line-up.
The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival has earned such a stellar reputation among international talent, their appointment is often due to personal recommendation from previous performers.
In addition, the winner of the Jive Funny Championship, the Mother City’s biggest comedy talent search, will appear on stage during the course of the Festival.
