HE believes laughter makes people feel lighter when they aren’t in a good space.
Thato Tennyson Marule makes hilarious skits on social media and the people of Mzansi have fallen in love with his funny skits.
The 22-year-old from Tembisa in Ekurhuleni said laughter is important.
“As soon as you laugh, your mood and energy changes. I also believe laughing heals. My videos make me laugh as well and on a random day when I feel down, I go through my feed and watch and laugh so hard. After I feel so much better and even forget what made me angry or sad,” he said.
He said he started making his videos in 2020.
“My friend Oratile Mashego, also known as Coachella Randy, and Banele Ndaba also known as Moghelingz, had already started and I followed their path. I saw that it might be a way to expose my talent and get into the industry. I did exactly that and started my own,” he said.

He said even though he makes people laugh, he has had problems with his family.
“When my sister cut me off, I had to figure out ways to survive and had to live through the support of friends and their families. I hustle hard to live and survive. There were times where I had to sleep with men for money,” he said.
Thato said he is goal driven and wants to work with big brands.
“My goals and ambitions keep me going. Also, I want to do it for my late mum. Her passing really broke me so much. I still haven’t healed. She left before I could make her proud and that hurts me so much," he said.
He said he's just a black queer boy from the hood trying to do better in life and reach greater heights.
“I believe so much in myself and I'll get where I want to be. I'm just waiting for that one life changing email, message, call or that one person who will say let me help you make Thato go big, that’s it,” he said.
