Davido, Moshe Ndiki, and Pierre van Pletzen join Comedy Central Roast of AKA
JOBURG – Davido, Van Pletzen and Ndiki join Francois Van Coke, Mark Fish, Nina Hastie, Moonchild Sanelly, Joey Rasdien, Papa Penny and Pearl Thusi as roast master.
Last week, Davido, Moshe Ndiki and Pierre van Pletzen were announced as the latest additions to the Comedy Central Roast of AKA taking place tomorrow, 21 February.
Panellists Davido, Van Pletzen and Ndiki join Francois Van Coke, Mark Fish, Nina Hastie, Moonchild Sanelly, Joey Rasdien, Papa Penny and Pearl Thusi as roast master.
Davido has added being the first Nigerian to join the globally famous Comedy Central Roast onto his impressive list of achievements.
“I’m such a big fan of Comedy Central, this is going to be a hilarious night. I’m ready, Africa are you ready? This is a roast so nothing is off limits,” Davido said.
Alex Okosi, executive vice president and managing director of Viacom International Media Networks Africa (VIMN Africa) said VIMN Africa continuously evolves and innovates content to create unique and engaging experiences for audiences.
“In a continental first, this Comedy Central Roast now transcends boundaries by welcoming Africa’s international star, Davido, to the panel,” Okosi said.

Ndiki said the roast will be a platform for him to question aspects of how AKA believes he is the first guy to invent blonde hair in December.
“He might as well have pioneered the passion gap for coloured folk. I mean he is the first coloured guy on earth according to his tweets,” Ndiki said.
Pierre van Pletzen, also known as ‘Oubaas’ will fan the flames onto AKA when he hits the stage. Proud but tactile in his approach, and after many years on the circuit with his multi-faceted screen performance he has a certain knack which will light up AKA and burn the theatre.
“It feels wonderful to be part of the Roast of AKA, whom I’d like to address as the non-humble infamously popular rapper, about a few things; his no-show at performances, his knowledge of geography and since he says he loves soccer… I would like to ask if he’s practising his technique by kicking fans off the stage,” Van Pletzen said.
