"I ended off the year with my show 'Curated' on Mzansi Magic, embracing humour about myself and societal happenings. The roast is about having fun and not taking myself too seriously. I may also get an opportunity to dispel many of the rumours told about me. The roast is fundamentally a celebration of my career and there’s nothing I love more than a good laugh."
Showmax’s Laura Cooke says the roast fits in with their content production.
“Partnering with Laugh Africa for Minnie Dlamini's roast aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering unique and compelling local content."
The Roast will feature a star-studded lineup, and will be recorded live on 5 April, and will air exclusively on Showmax on 26 April 2024.
