Loyiso Gola Takes on The Tesson Theatre as One Man
This guy is getting funnier and funnier over the last two years that we have been watching him – he has worked hard and looks to be one big-time funny guy in the near future – Loyiso’s lines are original, provocative and in no way cliched – he has that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ that is hard to find for some.

Gola is a well known face on the local comedy scene. He has appeared on SABC 3’s Comedy Showcase and the Pure Monate Show, as well as MC-ing the Metro Awards and appearing at the Blacks Only and Blackout Festivals. “This show is an opportunity for me to explore material that short slots and corporate gigs don’t often allow me to explore,” comments Gola of ‘I Am Frank’, “This is a good way for me to really run with some of the ideas I have and develop them to their logical conclusion.” “The thinking man’s Kofi Anan, the lighter side of Dark,” responds John Vlismas of Whacked management, in description of Gola, “Loyiso has an uncompromising sense of humour and his social commentary is provocative. Whacked Management is very proud to be putting on his first one-man show.” ‘I Am Frank’ is on for ONE night only at the Tesson Theatre at the Civic in JHB on Monday 8 August, 8pm.
