About the host

The Funny Chef is a multi-talented social media sensation, comedian, actress, television host, and entrepreneur. Her hilarious social media comedy skirts paved the way for her into the entertainment industry.

In 2018, her stand-up comedy career took off. She later bagged herself a role on the popular 1Magic telenovela, The River.

Last year, she announced the release of her new book titled: The Funny Chef’s Delicious Dishes. Tlokana said she never thought she would one day release her own book.

“Been trying to find the right caption for weeks, but y’all know I dislike captioning things more so if the picture speaks for itself… ‘la bona le lona’ was all I could think of because I have the soul of a clown… but I decided to take myself seriously and type a longer caption so people could think I’ve got my vocabulary together. So uhm… as you can see Bathong,” she wrote on one of her Instagram posts.
