Zimbabwe’s comedy scene has grown quickly since the 2010s. Comedy clubs and open mics in Harare and Bulawayo, such as the Umahlekisa comedy club in Bulawayo, gave new comedians a place to learn, and stand-up shows, festivals and online sketches now reach audiences across the country and the region.
Zimbabwean humour often moves between English, Shona and Ndebele and draws on village life, family, church, school, money, politics and the daily challenges of city life. Online sketch comedy has become especially popular, with short videos shared widely on social media at home and among Zimbabweans abroad. Zimbabwean comedians have also won awards and performed at festivals across Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.
One of the best-known examples is Learnmore Jonasi, formerly known as Long John the Comedian, who went from being booed at his first open mic in Harare to the final of America’s Got Talent in 2024 with humour drawn from Zimbabwean culture. On GiggleTime you can browse comedians from Zimbabwe, read their profiles in your own language and discover the performers putting Zimbabwean comedy on the map.
