Not Just a Show but a Movement
Burg Comedy Club, started by comedian Frank Chirisa and creative partner Brandon Masuku, is about more than just making people laugh. It’s about giving new comedians a platform, encouraging artists to support each other, and creating a real sense of community in Zimbabwe’s comedy scene.
Whether you’re from Bulawayo, Harare, or Masvingo, this show is proof that comedy can bring people together. The performers aren’t just competing, they’re cheering each other on, helping one another grow, and building something bigger than themselves.
