Loyiso Gola’s been performing his energetic stand-up – mixing hard-hitting satire with daft observations – across the globe for a decade, so it’s about time he made his way to London.
The Cape Town-born comic has performed on the London circuit a little in the past, and been to the Edinburgh Fringe twice, but his run of ‘Tall Tales’ this month is the first time he’s ever performed a solo show in our capital.
Gola’s a huge name in his home country; his live shows fill arenas and he’s the host of ‘Daily Show’-style satirical talk show ‘Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola’, which has twice been nominated for an international Emmy.
