In a night filled with laughter and joy, renowned comedian Jones Blaq Gzus Modibane once again proved his comedic prowess at the prestigious Sun City venue, hosting his annual Platinum Comedy Show to a full house on Saturday night – 25 May 2024.

Blaq Gzus, hailing from Tlhabane, delighted the audience with his sharp wit and charm, keeping them in stitches throughout the evening. Joined by stellar acts such as Chik Aljoy & Jackie, Big Ben, and Vafa Naraghi, the event was a testament to the growing influence of comedy in South Africa’s entertainment scene.

“This was my first time performing at Sun City, and it was an incredible experience,” remarked comedian Chik Aljoy, reflecting the sentiment of many performers and attendees alike. Lesego Mosito, who traveled from Zeerust to attend the show, described it as “the laughter of her life,” highlighting the show’s wide-reaching appeal.

However, beyond the entertainment, Blaq Gzus took a moment to address a pressing issue in the comedy industry. He appealed passionately to potential sponsors, including the government, to invest in comedy initiatives. “We aim to unearth hidden talents in deep rural areas,” he emphasized, underlining the potential impact of such investments in discovering and nurturing new comedic talent across the province. One of these acts, Big Ben from Mogajane was discovered through the Platinum Comedy Show.

The Platinum Comedy Show not only entertained but also underscored the significant role comedy plays in bringing communities together and providing much-needed laughter in challenging times. As calls for support echo through the industry, Blaq Gzus Modibane and his fellow comedians continue to pave the way for a brighter, funnier future in South African entertainment.
For those who attended, it was not just a night of comedy but a reminder of the power of laughter to uplift and unite—a sentiment that resonates long after the final curtain falls at Sun City.
