is the only all-female line-up of the week. I've met almost all the female comics. Some are local to South Africa that I haven't met yet. Essentially it is going to be some badass female comics doing comedy, but just being women while they do it. It will be bold. It will be nuanced. It will be a different perspective on what you frequently get to experience."
"It is a look at what the comedy world looks like in the universe - just a little bit. We all have been to male headlined shows and have been naturally accepting that. For many of us sitting in the audience, it's like: 'Something feels wrong. And I can't quite put my finger on it.' Because we're so used to seeing just men, men, men, men, men," she elaborates further.
Desiree believes that the opportunities for women in comedy are probably more exciting in 2020 than it has ever been in previous generations. "I mean, just even if purely for capitalist reasons. We're 51% of the population, I think. We have money; we have clout, we have interests, we need to have comedians who speak to us. Right? Men have been doing it for years, talking about their lives, their relationships, their families. And to not have men think: 'She's just going to sit here and tell period jokes.' What woman comic has ever told a period joke that like ever got anywhere?"is the show for you.
When asked if she would include the tidbits from her experience working in a New York sex dungeon, she assures us that she will be sharing those stories with local audiences as,"It's hilarious!"

Mondli Makhanya: Tshwane farce shows coalition politics cannot work in SAWith just one year to go before the 2021 local government elections, Tshwane is a prime example of our failed experiment with coalition politics. SA’s parties lack the maturity to make the tiniest effort to ensure they work, writes Mondli Makhanya That has always been my observation. Parties must go out and work tirelessly to win outright majority in elections to avoid this chaos I think it will help to acknowledge dat ANC in Tshwane had cadres in strategic positions, e.g. Regional Executive Directors(RED). In Region1, the RED made sure he doesn't respond to resident's quiries. Basically, ANC cadres inside CoT have been on a permanent go-slow since 2016 kgosi_maepa has won the battle against the DA, but will he win the war against the voters on the re-election day? Has MyANC done (not spoken/voiced) anything to win the trust of the voters? Will Mayoral candidate not be Didizad oncemore like what happened to Kgosientsho_R?
