The show is a way of honouring the loyal viewers for showing support over these last three years. Lucky Aaroni, the founder of Bustop TV said entry to the show will be free.
“This particular event is a thank you to our supporters, fans and audience who have stood by us, followed us and have been patient with us to date. Our audience continues to grow and we humbly appreciate it, therefore, a free show is one of our ways of proving our appreciation.
“We also have a crazy line-up of hilarious comedians. There will be a surprise performance so people should really look forward to this one. Comedians will give their best so I urge all those who will attend this spectacular event to bring an extra pair of ribs,” he said.
The show has grown over the years in terms of audience, sponsors and experience. The comedy show has strengthened the relations with other artistes who have featured who include Sabastian Magacha, Future love of Iyasa and Eddington aka Bhauren.
“2017 has been a great year for our show as we have been receiving awesome reviews, Gonyeti recently won the Intombie Women in Media awards. We take this opportunity to thank our supporters who voted. We received 2017 AMH Great Zimbabwe nominations also our collaboration with various artistes has helped in our growth,” he said.
Aaron also applauded one of their biggest achievements besides their comic works as they have been engaging in charity work to make a difference in the society.
“We take so much pride in what we have been doing to our society. In September we celebrated Gonyeti’s birthday at Wings of Hope Children’s Home in Mufakose where she grew up as a way of giving back to the community. We also intend on doing the same for Sharon’s birthday which will be at Chikurubi female section,” he said.
