Renowned Kenyan comedian Eric Omondi and South Africa’s
leading female comedian and radio personality, Tumi Morake, and, have teamed up
with Boomerang to launch a brand new, exciting comedic series that promises to
have audiences across Africa roaring with laughter!
From cheeky monkeys, to lazy wallowing seals, to greedy
warthogs, to romantic cheetahs, Boomerang’s The Safari Comedy Show will shed
light on the daily lives of some of Africa’s most humorous animals, like you
have never seen before.
The series of one-minute short scripted comedies, where real
wild animals will be dubbed by local African talents, is based on the simple
concept of “if animals could talk what would they say?” Here on the Safari
Comedy Show, anything is possible. Not only can the animals rap, dance and talk
like humans, but they can play games on their mobile phones too, in fact these
animals are not so different from humans at all. From playing with their
friends, to fighting with their siblings you will learn that there is an animal
in Africa, just like you!
“We here at Boomerang are so excited about The Safari Comedy
Show. This is the first local Boomerang original and illustrates our
willingness to create locally relevant series’, using familiar voices to our
audiences from across Africa”, says Pierre Branco, VP and Managing Director of
Turner Africa. “We (brands) are all competing for the attention of our young
audience across Africa, which is why we have invested so much time, energy and
effort into creating unique, exciting content. Thanks to the quality of our
shows and strong brand proposition, confirmed by being voted having the
“Coolest Cartoon Show” for the third year in a row in the latest Generation
Next Survey, we are even more adamant to invest in our shows in order to make them
even more relevant to our local audiences, than ever before. Localisation is
how we aim to break through the clutter in order to connect, engage and reside
in the hearts and minds of our young audience and their families from across
the continent.”
Tumi Morake says: “I have never really seen anything quite
like The Safari Comedy Show before. The show is so different, unique and
unexpected which makes the show very disruptive in a good way. The disruptive
nature of The Safari Comedy Show is not only exciting but engaging too. The
show definitely gives us a glimpse of what life could be like if we were wild
animals in Africa!”
Eric Omondi says: “Comedy is my passion – there is nothing I
love more than making people smile and laugh. When Boomerang approached me to
do The Safari Comedy Show, I was so excited to get the opportunity to make
hundreds and thousands of kids, and their parents, from across Africa roar with
laughter. I mean what an honour!”
Don’t forget to tune-in to Boomerang this month on the 17th
of July 2017 to hear Eric Omondi and Tumi Morake transform themselves into the
loveable animals we all know and love (well at least, so we thought).
