It's been called the Comedy Central Roast of Somizi but after the attack on Ntsiki Mazwai, the audience members who were at the live show at Gold Reef City changed the name to the Roast of Ntsiki Mazwai. Either way, you have to make sure to clear your calendar and watch the show on May 7 on channel 122. And if you miss that, it will be available on Showmax from May 8.

Somizi, of course, made a grand entrance. He had dancers and slaves and boxing gloves.

So, the point of the roast is to, well, roast each other. And while we there there cringing and laughing, the guys on the panel also couldn't hold back.

Their reactions will tell you as much.
