The much-awaited Comedy Central Roast of Pearl Thusi, presented by Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind, is already generating interest as the celebrity lineup is announced.
According to IOL, Zodwa Wabantu, one of South Africa’s most controversial figures, will join the roast panel with a fearless approach. Zodwa is known for her outspoken nature and pledges to bring the same fire to the stage.
Zodwa shared her excitement and readiness for the event, saying, “I am bold and unapologetic in what I do, and I recognise the same traits in Pearl. We are both tough cookies who can give as good as we get.”
However, she made it clear that Pearl shouldn’t expect any mercy when the roast begins. “That doesn’t mean I’m going to hold back when the chips are down – she is fair game and must not expect any special treatment from me!”
The Roast of Pearl Thusi will be recorded at the Lyric Theatre in Gold Reef City on November 21, 2024, and is set to air on Comedy Central (DStv Channel 122) on December 8, 2024, at 21:00.
