Fresh off his double victory at the 2025 Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards, KwaZulu-Natal’s comedic sensation, Robby Collins, will be bringing his signature wit and storytelling to the 26th annual JiVE Cape Town Funny Festival, powered by KLM. He'll be performing at the iconic Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa, from Monday June 2 to Sunday June 15.
Collins, who has steadily risen through the ranks of the South African comedy scene from Durban theatre productions to sharing stages at prestigious events like The Heavy Weight Comedy Jam and Blacks Only — first captured national attention as the opening act for Trevor Noah's 2015 tour.
