LOYISO MADINGA is the South Africa Correspondent for the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. This rural raised boy has quickly risen to being a certified international comic.

You can catch his Netflix half-hour special in the “Comedians of the World” series. If you’re South African you can watch his debut one man show, Born Free-ish, on DStv Catch up.

Loyiso has represented SA at the Montreux Comedy Festival (Switzerland) and Busan Comedy Festival (Korea) and performed at a Live LOL Recording (produced by Kevin Hart) at the Montreal Comedy Festival.

And he’s as comfortable on screen as he is on stage.

From a small village in the Eastern Cape to world stages,

LOYISO IS PROVING TO BE A TALL MAN ON THE INSIDE.
