This follows her win at the Jive Funny Championships, held at a packed Canal Walk auditorium last week.

Gudazi, who works for Transnet in the Eastern Cape moving wagon stock, impressed the judges with a sharp three-minute routine that had the audience in stitches.

The judges - comedians Jason Goliath, Yaaseen Barnes and Eddy Cassar - named her the clear favourite on the night.
