Last week, I had the pleasure of attending The Newbies, a standout comedy show featuring three rising stars in the South African comedy scene: Sacre Kayemba, Nathan Kalala, and Fidel Titi. This unique comedy show shines a light on the personal experiences, observations, and everyday absurdities of life, all told through the hilarious lens of these up-and-coming comedians.
The show, aptly named The Newbies, brings together these talented performers who each bring their own perspective to the stage. Sacre Kayemba, Nathan Kalala, and Fidel Titi have been making waves in the comedy world, and this performance demonstrated exactly why. From start to finish, the audience was treated to a diverse mix of witty observations, sharp punchlines, and relatable humour that had everyone in stitches.
Nathan shared that he genuinely enjoys making people laugh, stating that life is tough and hectic. “Being able to see someone smile because of a joke I’ve told makes me feel like I have a superpower, and that makes me happy,” he said. Fidel, on the other hand, shared that his comedic influences include legends like Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, and Loyisa Gola. Sacre’s inspiration comes from a simple but powerful belief: “Life is not that serious.” He hopes to leave behind a legacy of humour, helping people forget their struggles and find joy in life’s absurdities.
What made The Newbies particularly enjoyable was the raw and authentic comedy these artists delivered. They expertly navigated personal experiences, societal issues, and the funny moments in everyday life that most of us can relate to. Their unique takes on modern life and culture made the evening not just funny, but thought-provoking at times.
If you’re looking for a comedy show that feels fresh, spontaneous, and full of energy, The Newbies is a must-see. This dynamic trio is certainly on their way to becoming household names in the comedy world, and this show is just the beginning of their journey. Keep an eye on these talented comedians; you don’t want to miss what comes next!
