Pearl Thusi set to face the flames
South African veteran actress Pearl Thusi is set to be roasted this November.
Filming of the Comedy Central Roast of Pearl Thusi will take place on Thursday, 21 November, at The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City, in Johannesburg.
Months ago, we saw Minnie Dlamini secure more shine through the roast; the multi-talented Queen Sono is next line.
“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. So believe me when I say I’ll bring my A-game for this one.”
“Returning to the Roast, this time as the roastee, I’m looking forward to having fun in the hot seat and giving as good as I get. If the Roasters think they will get me to squirm, they have another thing coming,” Pearl said.
Monde Twala, the senior vice president and general manager at Paramount Africa and lead at BET International, said: “Pearl Thusi is one of South Africa’s rare and precious gems, who has illuminated our screens and airwaves with her radiant presence and style. But, as we know, in the world of Comedy Central roasts, when celebrities’ claws are bared and the knives come out, nothing and no one is sacred.”
