Alien Art Studios, Savanna partner to find Namibia's funniest
Uncovering the next comedy star
Alien Art Studios and Savanna have launched a nationwide hunt for comedy's next big thing with 'So You Think You're a Comedian'.
In an exciting new collaboration, Alien Art Studios has joined forces with Savanna to launch the ‘So You Think You're a Comedian’ comedy showdown, a nationwide search designed to unearth Namibia's comedic talent. This initiative was announced at a media launch by Mitch Gaoseb, comedian and CEO of Alien Art Studios, this week.
Registration for the competition opened on Thursday, 1 August, with auditions scheduled to run from 16 August to 26 October. These auditions will take place in major towns across all 14 regions of Namibia. The comedic journey will culminate in a comedy festival at the beginning of November, followed by the grand finale at comedy awards in December.
"We are excited to partner with Savanna to bring this unique comedy showdown to Namibia," Gaoseb said. The competition aims to discover comedians from across the country who will compete for the coveted title of Namibia's funniest comedian. The winner will receive a cash prize of N$50 000 and the opportunity to headline the Namibian Comedy Club Series' first show in February 2025.
Auditions will be held in Windhoek, Rundu, Swakopmund, Ongwediva, Tsumeb, Nkurenkuru, Mariental, Keetmanshoop, Walvis Bay, Katima Mulilo, Opuwo, Outapi and Eenhana. Aspiring comedians are encouraged to register via namibia-breweries-limited.com/savannasytyc.

Finalists will compete in the comedy festival in Windhoek on Saturday, 2 November, where four comedians will be selected for the Savanna 'So You Think You’re a Comedian' champion category at the Savanna Annual Namibian Comedy Awards. The public will vote for the winner, who will be announced at a gala dinner.
"We can't wait to discover the next big name in Namibian comedy and share their talent with the nation. We encourage all aspiring comedians to register and showcase their skills on stage," Gaoseb said.
