Salvado nominated for Savanna Comics’ Awards 2017
Uganda’s funniest man Patrick Idringi Salvado has been nominated for Savanna Pan African Comic of the Year Award 2017.
In its seventh year, the Annual South African Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards (Savanna CCA’s) will be the biggest – and farthest reaching – yet.
For the first time, the pinnacle comedy awards event in South Africa will expand to include all African countries – a first for the industry.
Held under the banner of “The Freedom of Funny”, the Awards will celebrate the power that humour has to break down barriers and open borders between African countries and encourage the free flow of comedy talent.
Comedians vote for their fellow comedians, ultimately determining who will be nominated and then go on to receive a Waldo (the Savanna CCA’s statuette), making the awards one of the highest accolades a comedian can receive in South Africa, and Africa.
The awards will be held on Saturday 9th September 2017 at The Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City, Johannesburg
The nominees in the Pan-African category are:
Patrick Idringi (aka Salvado) from Uganda
Bright Okpocha (aka Basketmouth) from Nigeria
Carl Joshua Ncube from Zimbabwe
T shepo “Masapo” Mpiti from Lesotho
Fernando Tafish from Angola
