The cost of living is up. The political parties are gearing up for another round of promises, posters and unsolicited WhatsApp’s. The international news gets stranger by the day. And somewhere between the chaos, the campaign trails and the endless political hot takes, there’s a small but important question: Can we please laugh at this?
On Wednesday, 21 October, Politically Aweh brings Poll Dancing to the Homecoming Centre in Cape Town for one night of sharp political satire, big laughs and the kind of information you actually want before you head to the polls.
Hosted by KG Mokgadi and Zoë Human, the show brings together Dillan Oliphant, Dan Corder, Lindy Johnson, Naledi Mashishi and more for a fast-paced live show packed with stand-up, sketches, interviews, reporting and plenty of political mischief.
But this isn’t just about the jokes.
With journalists and research partners helping unpack what’s happening on the ground, Poll Dancing gives audiences the context behind the headlines, the campaign promises and the political noise. The facts are checked. The politicians are fair game. Nobody gets off lightly.
So bring your friends. Bring your political opinions. Bring the person who insists they “don’t follow politics” but somehow has a 17-minute voice note about it.
One night. One stage. A whole lot of politics. The jokes are funny. The facts are checked.
