Local comedian Patrick Salvado Idringi is flying high.
The “Man from Ombokolo” has received a nod in international awards. He has been nominated in the Savanna Comic’s Choice Awards in the Pan African Comic Of The Year award category.
He will battle with top comedians on the continent including Basketmouth (Nigeria), Carl Joshua Ncube (Zimbabwe), Masapo (Lesotho) and Fernando Filipe (Angola).
According to Salvado, this is his first ever international award recognition and has expressed excitement about the nod.
The awards seek to offer a platform for African comedians to be recognised for the important role they play in society.
Winners will be announced on Saturday, September 9 at a ceremony that will be held at the Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City in Johannesburg, South Africa.
