Ebenhaezer Dibakwane walked away with the coveted Savanna Newcomer’s Award recently.
On Saturday, September 3, Dibakwane received the award at the sixth annual Savanna Comic’s Choice Awards, at the Teatro at Montecasino.
He may be the new kid on the block, but he has proven to be a firm favourite amongst his peers.
“I’m truly honoured to have received this award – it’s my heroes recognising what I’m doing!” commented an excited Dibakwane.
The comic gave a memorable performance during the awards, with his stand-up and various sketch comedy routines.
With his fresh, clever and unusual take on politics and life, Dibakwane is one of the most exciting up-and-coming comedians on the scene at the moment.
Becoming a more frequent face on the comedy scene, some of his highlights include recently opening for Dillan Oliphant, being part of the Stand Up 4 Comedy ensemble alongside Mo Mathebe and Virgil Prins, being billed on the line-up of Blacks Only and the Comedy Central International Comedy Festival, alongside the likes of Trevor Noah, Jeff Ross and other South African greats.
He was recently invited to write sketches and perform on the latest hit sketch show, Bantu Hour, which is co-hosted by Kagiso Lediga and Hugh Masakela, and has also appeared on the ANN7 sports show, Game On.
