Loyiso Gola Wants to Make You Laugh
In the Studio takes us into the minds and processes of leading and emerging figures from across the creative world.
What does it take to prepare a new stand- up show for the world’s biggest comedy festival? Loyiso Gola is one of South Africa’s most loved comedians he has performed across the globe and his satirical TV show Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola has had two Emmy nominations, one of television’s greatest accolades.
In the Studio follows Loyiso as he embarks on the challenge of taking his latest show, Unlearning, to the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland. With Unlearning, Loyiso takes on those everyday ideas that we’ve learnt throughout our lives, such as who we are as people and how our perceptions of culture and history, race and politics shape how we see and treat each other. But how do you make an audience laugh for an hour, as well as question their perception of the world?
