OMGš±Ā Katt Williams proved Eddie Griffin was right all along about ā WEARING DRESSā
TV presenter Minnie Dlamini is ready to be in the hot seat as the next celebrity to be roasted on āThe Showmax Roast of Minnie Dlaminiā.
Speaking at the launch of this yearās Laugh Africa Comedy Festival in Rosebank on Thursday evening, Dlamini said she would bare all and not hold back on anything.
When radio and TV personality Mthokozisi āMablerhā Cele asked her if she would not mind if her divorce was mentioned, the former Homeground presenter revealed that she was not divorced yet.
āToday actually marks the day, two years ago, when I announced my split. Donāt clap, Iām still not divorced,ā she laughed.
The Becoming Mrs Jones star said she would not mind having comedians Nina Hastie, Skhumbuzo Hlophe, whom she said would rip her to shreds, and Tumi Morake.
She said:
I want it to be entertaining, I want people who are going to get the audience excited about the things they are going to say and how they are going to take the jokes. We want a good show, we donāt want an ugly show, [but] an entertaining one. You can see when it gets personal and when someone goes off-script. Sometimes we dig in, and everybody loves a little bit of a mess, but what I love about the roast is that it is about celebrating comedy.
She added that she would not mind having regular celebrities who were not comedians.
āFor me, itās about the unexpected. What I love about the roast is that outside of seeing the comedians do what they do, you want to see your favourite celebrities take a dig at each other. I just want to see who is brave enough to put themselves in the spotlight. I mean I am, so letās go,ā she said.
Dlamini said her Mzansi Magic show, Curated, showcased her sense of humour, adding that the roast would extend that side of herself.
She said people should be scared to come for her because she would go for them.
After five years of being in business, the Laugh Africa Comedy Festival is set to have 50 comedians at a three-day fair in April. It will be headlined by American comedian and actor Eddie Griffin.
Comedy fans can expect to be entertained by local talents, including Eugene Khoza, Conrad Koch, Chester Missing and Mel Jones. others.
