This guy is actually good. Heard some dumb folk saying he whack ? Guess I did the right thing to search 1st ... Fire!!!

[@sbo54]

honestly im the dumb folk.... ive only heard two 5min sets from that were actually funny.... he bombs every other day

[@poisonivy9956]

Love this guy. But man, before internet we never knew that comedians repeated their jokes. But I get it, they perform in different parts of the world, so the jokes is fresh to the new audience. Till they go home and scroll through the comedians clips. Lol

[@SinaiZamora]

It’s kinda a “re-use” but not in the way you may think. It takes a very long time to come up with jokes that can be told as a flowing story. Just like writers who start off with scribbled notes that later turn into a “rough draft”, which is later majorly edited before publishing, so do the same as comedians. Comedians come out with a “Special” about every 2 years. A much smaller percentage can do 1 a year. The time in between is used to practice bits repeatedly using different tones of voices, physical animation, delivery, or different timings through out the “Special Hour.” It’s done in small increments of 5-10 minutes at a time or even longer. Until they build up several of these small bits to fill an entire hour slot. Hence why you can find them in smaller venues through out the year seemingly repeating their work. They are actually editing their material until they feel it is perfect to release a “Special”. Once the “Special” is released, they retire their jokes entirely and start from scratch all over again in preparation for their next special. It’s very interesting work to follow :) (Being able to see what bits don’t make it to the special or what new material is added at the last minute before the special is probably my favorite part of following a comedian act)

[@thatcreative9652]

Wow, this is such a detailed and thought through process that you wrote here. I always find it so fascinating watching comedians and studying their different delivery methods - and tones of voice👏🏼 and how they went through years to find good material for jokes - didn't realise they actually write it down, and screened it and consciously tried to make them good enough for a special. That's amazing!

[@nneomanjoku3110]

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

[@aplusoy2224]

Whaow that's so detailed and well written lols, we go a sucker for comedy acts 😂🤣👍🏿✌🏿

@@paradigm_sh1ft532 that doesn’t mean they’re not racist. You may as well say America isn’t a racist country because they had a Black president- unfortunately there was more racism and discrimination. Lol, Usually it’s the people of different cultures who are just as racist than caucasians.

Comedians repeat jokes all the time. It's kinda like how you wouldn't expect a rapper or a singer to perform a new song every time they go on stage.

[@zaidanesem6635]

Y'know Louis CK also repeat his jokes, and his one of the best comic in the world

[@preach_6940]

Now this is what a comedian on form looks like. I always look this video up when it starts playing in my head.

Mr Gola, you are very talented.

[@teem8997]

Love from SA

[@manqobakumalo8370]

dope, well represented siyabonga

[@hey34]

Growing up in SA I was so used to seeing a rainbow of faces everywhere I went that when I first went to AUS it freaked me out. I was on edge until I so my first spots of colour, any colour. Sometimes it feels like children of the corn. That being said if I see only one colour for too long I feel uneasy. TL,DR - Coming from the rainbow nation to monochrome is hella unsettling, give me some spice.

[@newbris]

You must live in a remote place. Big cities are full of different nationalities.

Lol guess they listened

[@tkdb317]

My uncle and aunt came from Jo'burg to visit Sydney and after a day in the city I asked what they thought. My aunt commented on the harbour and beaches etc and my uncle, still speechless added, "And I couldn't believe my eyes - there was a white man cleaning the train! Then I woke up this morning and there were white men collecting the garbage!!!" I swear the man was this 🤏🏽 close to falling on the floor from shock. I left SA when I was five so it took me a while to understand why a sight like that would be so impactful to a black South African man who had, only the year before, seen Mandela become president.

[@SahanTheMighty]

Black parts 😂

[@daniedeemash]

It's fun how they change their normal South African standup so they relates to everybody in world

yeb... trevor never can be compared to loys... loys is spontaneous and natural

[@nohhh2874]

Not sure but everyone is claiming that Trevor stealed other comedian joke.

[@GS-st9ns]

Loyiso is not that funny in my opinion, but he is older than Trevor and I've seen things that Trevor has taken from other African comics, but they all grew up together so they are sure to overlap . It's probably fair to use the same situations especially in Africa

Where has his strong South African accent gone, like when he was at the Apollo ?????

[@Nikolizky]

mufuliramark He was actually overdoing it at the Apollo for some reason. Maybe his production team advised him to sound as South African as possible, especially the Rs. Was he videos from like 10 years ago, the Apollo accent wasn’t his regular.

[@agrid2608]

The "African" accent at the Appollo was caricatured/exaggerated for show. This is his real accent. The link below was him in South Africa many years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooechIKrgcpmbNU Also a lot of middle class South African entertainers/comedians/DJs do the "rhotic-R" pronunciation thing (opinionated working man/ working class-associated) for emphasis or for humor.

Steel Nerves did he thou?

[@shawn_d2949]

Which accent? Do you know the South African accent?

[@okaymea]

Yeah I heard that. He doesn't usually talk like this

[@jn8922]

It's because people need to understand him and relate to him wherever he goes. The accent comes back in South Africa where we understand its nuances enough when it's used in a particular joke.

[@okaymea]

@Nefertiti Nefertiti you're clearly not a fan of Loyiso. He doesn't speak like this. Listen to his South African stand ups, come back and tell me if he sounds like the way he sounds in this video.

About protesting, please come to tell that to the "Gilets Jaunes" (Yellow Jackets) here in France 😂. We have so many things we should be proud of. But It's not enough for them. I told them, the first right you should be prouf of is that you can protest! And for months! Besides, sometimes (most of time, I should say), you broke things, and they just arrest and charge you and that's It. Please come with me in Africa. Trust me you will never protest again, once you will go back to France
