Fresh off an Ovation Award win and a Showmax comedy special, Chris Mapane returns with a brand-new, ALL-AGES comedy experience that shows exactly why he’s considered a legend in the game. After two decades of touring the continent (and LONDON) and earning standing ovations from Joburg to Accra, Chris brings a razor-sharp, seasoned perspective to the wild mix of local and international current affairs shaping our daily lives.

Africanism dives into political drama, global headlines and the everyday madness South Africans navigate with a straight face, breaking it all down with fearless humour, honest storytelling and punchlines that land fast and stay with you.

This is Chris at his sharpest — bold, hilarious and fully in command of his craft — delivering a show that hits hard, cuts deep and keeps every generation laughing. If you want the show everyone will be talking about, the one your friends will brag about seeing first, this is the ticket you don’t want to miss.
