<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: inherit;">Not just another ordinary night as we
attended the 3<sup>rd</sup> <b>The Annual South African Comic’s Choice Awards™</b> held
at the Teatro in Monte Casino on Saturday 24 August 2013. Comics, Celebs and a
ton of media graced the yellow carpet as they gathered to honour only the
hottest and most happening comedic talent around. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: inherit;">The Annual South African Comic’s Choice
Awards is an opportunity for every professional comedian in the country to
register and vote for his or her favourite registered comedian in each
category. There are no committees, panels or governing bodies, the votes are
simply counted, and the results made known. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: inherit;">The awards was centered around the theme the
“Art of funny” meant to embody the fact that comedy as a freedom of expression
is in fact an art. This year’s theme, “The Art Of Funny” centered on
self-expression and social justice, so whilst audiences laughed at the
collaborative sketches, there was an underlying message of how comedians, much
like graffiti artists and free-runners have the ability to reshape reality,
drive a revolution and change the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family: inherit;">Before the show media and journo’s
surrounded the yellow carpet to capture shots of the stars of the night. Now
you wouldn’t think comedians had it in them but they all looked fabulous
dressed to the nines in formal attire. We got to admit we were quite impressed
by the few that arrived in theme “The art of funny “and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>self expression (laughs) dress check pics

graphic MC Chris (insert pic) with no eyes were short and sweet and totally enjoyable.
All the entertainment was </span>centered<span style="font-family: inherit;"> around the “Art of Funny” theme and included a
mind blowing performance by some parkour free runners,</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">really adorable mime artists, the sweetest
little old lady dancers influenced by modern dancers shaking down to Pussy Cat
Dolls, a funny banter between a black and white rhino and </span>of course<span style="font-family: inherit;"> comedians
including Skhumbuza, Magnus Magnuson and Chris Forest. Each award was presented
by a well-known celebrity or comedian which includes the likes of Anele Mdoda who
is looking absolutely fabulous at the moment, Joe Mafela and </span></span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #222222; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">Jahmil Qubeka.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

winner gave the acceptance speech in the form of seven minutes of stand <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>up or maybe a little security on why they were
the winners (LOL). Believes us each winner proved why they deserved the little
statue as they had the audience tearing and rolling with laughter.
