Bafunny Bafunny: Trevor Noah Headlines Star-Studded Comedy Line-Up

South Africa’s national team of comedy is reporting for duty at SunBet Arena. Bafunny Bafunny brings two nights of stand-up to Pretoria, led by team captain Trevor Noah and vice-captain Eugene Khoza.

The line-up combines established names with rising talent, including Lindy Johnson, Thabiso Mhlongo, Mbali Gudazi, Panch Gasela, and Learnmore Jonasi. Ntosh Madlingozi joins the squad as coach, helping shape a show that treats comedy with the same national enthusiasm normally reserved for a major sporting fixture.

Bafunny Bafunny first brought South African comedians together ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Its 2026 return takes the form of a national live tour, using the idea of a comedy team to showcase different voices, styles, and perspectives on one arena stage.

Expect sharp observations, bold storytelling, and enough familiar South African material to make an audience of several thousand people feel strangely united. The show is restricted to guests aged 18 and older.
