South African comedy lovers will soon have something to look forward to Pearl Thusi prepares herself for the roast.
While she has been in the public eye for several years as an actress, model and TV presenter, Pearl Thusi will soon step into the shoes of several others that have gone before her and become the person in the hot seat of Comedy Central's The Roast of Pearl Thusi.
The show sees celebrities and comedians dish out good-natured insult comedy jokes at the expense of the guest of honour in front of a live audience.
Meanwhile, Pearl is no stranger to the platform. In 2019 she was one of several panelists including former professional footballer Mark Fish who took a jab at close friend, Kiernan "AKA" Forbes.
Speaking about her expectation at this year's roast she shared that she is fully prepared to handle what comes her way.
"After many years in the entertainment industry, I'm no stranger to pressure, and I'm fully prepared to handle whatever the roasters throw at me. Believe me when I say I'll bring my A-game for this one."
"Returning to the Roast, this time as a roastee, I'm looking forward to having fun in the hot seat and giving as good as I get. If roasters think they will get me to squirm, they have another thing coming," she said.
Monde Twala, the senior vice-president and general manager of Paramount Africa describes the actress as one of South Africa's rare gems and said they are excited to see her get roasted.
"We are looking forward to seeing the Black Pearl show off the mettle that has propelled her to where she is today. We have no doubts she will be sldphowing her Roasters the spiciest of flames on the night."
The roast is expected to place on the 21 November at Gold Reef City's Lyric Theatre and will be broadcast on 8 December on Comedy Central.
Meanwhile, tickets will soon go on sale at Webtickets.
