Skhumba to host Showmax’s first travel show

Award-winning comedian Skhumba has bagged a new show on streaming service Showmax, Trippin With Skhumba. This is the service’s first travel show in which the comic will visit a fellow South African comedian in their hometown. They will explore places that won’t make any tourism brochures and stories that would be edited out of any authorised biographies.

“As much as we love South African comedians, we are only exposed to what they do on stage as opposed to their backgrounds. So on Trippin’ With Skhumba, I wanted to dig deeper into their lives and where they come from – far more than what I could ever get out of them by doing a normal interview, like on my radio show on Kaya FM.”

Guest on the first season of the show will include Celeste Ntuli, Mashabela Galane and Tumi Morake among others.

Trippin’ With Skhumba will premiere on Showmax from 28 February 2019, with new episodes every Thursday.

Skhumba to host Showmax’s first travel show. We can’t wait to watch!
