Papa Penny added to AKA roast panel

In yet another bizarre turn of events, Tsonga music sensation and reality star Penny Penny has been added to the interesting list of panellists for the upcoming Comedy Central Roast of AKA.

Having broken boundaries with his original Tsonga disco/Shangaan electro music, the “bloke who can’t be broke” will certainly bring raw rhythm to the show when he joins the crew of Roasters to take on rap-king AKA, explained Comedy Central.

“I’ve had my fair share of being roasted on social media in the past which makes me more than ready to be on the Comedy Central Roast panel. I will be bringing my Tsonga bling and flair to set the stage on fire. Here I come, AKA,” said Papa Penny in a statement.

He will be joined by comedian Joey Rasdien and musician Moonchild Sanelly who will round off the panel of six roasters. Francios Van Coke, Mark Fish, and Nina Hastie were among the first panellists announced for the show.

Rasdien said: “For the past few years, Comedy Central has been instrumental in growing our industry, so to be able to get the opportunity to be on a Roast panel, roasting AKA is huge. I’m super excited. To AKA I say… you went to Holy Cross Convent! Shame, that’s got to hurt. That’s tough. Maybe I can bring Bonang and Cassper Nyovest to join on the panel and then we’ll have a real bonfire.”

Sanelly added: “The roast of AKA will be a comfortable space for me because I have faced a lot of criticism in my career, and I can take it. I would love to think that it lightens the load of rumours about celebrities because if people can see you laugh at yourself then they don’t have the power to believe that making fun of you hurts you.”

The Comedy Central Roast of AKA live show will take place later this month and will be made available for public viewing in March.
