U know in the USA where all this stand up crap started, comedians are very out there with their jokes i.e yo mamma jokes and general sexual crudeness. Will this be allowed on this new show coz I'm an interested foul-mouthed person who likes to listen to jokes of that ilk?

Shit!! Why didn't you bugger's tell me my jokes are cheesy? I'm about to go out there and do the KNOCK KNOCK jokes for the adults? What a joke? My dick is so small you need a microscope with a fuckin super zoom to find it. No girl can suck it, unless you include the mosquito chicks. We need *bleep!* like that to even consider showing our teeth to them fuckin comedian's. MOTHERFUCKERS.

there was this crazy guy called Makhandakhanda.

He had a very big head. One day he went to a Sangoma

to get muti so that if people called him Makhandakhanda

they should die.

He went home and his mom asked him: 'Where do you

come from Makhandakhanda?' She died instantly.

He then went to the bank wearing a T - shirt with his name

on it. All the people called out his name and they all died.

He then took the money and ran.

He started counting the money,

he cried out in self - praise:

'HAA!! Wadla Makhandakhanda. He died on the spot.

A 10yr old boy was jealous of his new baby brother because his mother
was not paying attention to him at all. Tired of this constant ignoring
he decided to solve the problem once and for all. He decided to put
poison on his mother's nipples while she was sleeping to kill the baby.
The next morning....the gardener was found dead!

In the classroom children where ordered to name any bank that they
know in South Africa , they named them, ABSA BANK, STANDARD BANK, FIRST NATIONAL BANK, AFRICAN BANK, LAND BANK, NED BANK, then the teacher
noticed that Sipho was quiet not saying anything and the teacher asked
can we hear from you Sipho which bank do you know in South Africa , the
little Sipho answered without hesitating saying.............

A Pastor asked a guy from his church not to say “Amen, Alleluya” when the Bishop is preaching because he doesn’t like it. He takes it as an interpretation. A guy said “NO pastor I am so use to that I don’t think I can let the Bishop finished his preaching without saying it” but Pastor said “I am going to buy you a very nice Boots if you don’t say it”

When the Bishop was in the middle of preaching a Guy stand up to say Amen , Alleluya but he thought about nice boots and sit down. He stands up and sit down again. But Bishop was very good and everybody was so concentrating. He stand up and say “ Boots or no Boots, Amen Alleluya praise the Lord!!!!!!

Ntosh, your comments are rude, think about others don't just think about yourself. Do not undermine other people's gift, the fact that you choose them that means they have the potential. Rather tell them where they should focus than insulting them.

Laughter is the best medicine, to all the comedians, keep it up guys, whether you win the competition or not. i hope that show presenter will try to little bit fun himself. for now he comes across liek he's presenting a serious talk show programme.
