WHAT IS PUNCHLINE COMEDY CLUB?

Punchline Comedy Club is a predominantly English Standup Comedy experience that is far reaching in that it aims to promote standup comedy in Tanzania whilst fostering relations with comics from across Africa and beyond. It targets an audience make-up of high-ranking corporate executives, embassy & NGO officials, multilingual Tanzanians and the English speaking community at large by providing:

  • Standup Comedy – By visiting comics accompanied by Tanzania’s finest standup comics and featuring upcoming standup comics
  • Musical Entertainment – Comedic Music & Professional musical performances
  • Workshops – We partner with established arts organizations such as Nafasi Art Space and other cultural organizations to find a way to grow and nurture upcoming standup comedians. We plan to achieve this in collaboration with visiting and established local top-tier standup comedians.
