Nominees: 2nd Annual SA Comics Choice Awards
June 12, 2012 by Brown Shuga
The nominees for the 2012 Comics Choice Awards have been announced and if you are not familiar with the awards, well, don’t worry, they are only in their second year.
The SA Comic’s Choice Awards allows the majority of professional local comedians to register, vet each other and vote for who they believe should be honoured with one of six magnificent Waldo statuettes.
The show itself is unique, with no speeches allowed, only short comedy sets by each winner, as well as a mental concoction of comedy variety that won’t be seen anywhere else.
The winners will be announced on 10 July 2012. Here are the nominees:
.
The Times Comic’s Pen Award
- Kagiso Lediga
- Alyn Adams
- Loyiso Gola
- Vittorio Leonardi
The Audience Choice Award
- Sifiso Nene
