Politically Aweh brings Poll Dancing to Cape Town for one night of political satire

4

Political promises, campaign posters and unsolicited WhatsApps are back in the spotlight as Politically Aweh prepares to bring its live show, Poll Dancing, to Cape Town.

Taking place at the Homecoming Centre on Wednesday, 21 October 2026, the one-night event combines political satire with fact-checked reporting and interviews.

With the cost of living rising, political parties preparing for another round of campaigning and international headlines getting stranger by the day, the show asks a simple question: Can we please laugh at this?

Comedy meets political commentary

Hosted by KG Mokgadi and Zoë Human, Poll Dancing brings together Dillan Oliphant, Dan Corder, Lindy Johnson, Naledi Mashishi and more.

The fast-paced live show features stand-up comedy, sketches, interviews and reporting, with plenty of political mischief along the way.

From campaign promises to the latest political headlines, the performers will find humour in the issues dominating public conversation.

More than just political jokes

While comedy is central to Poll Dancing, the show also aims to give audiences a clearer understanding of the political issues behind the headlines.

Journalists and research partners will help unpack what is happening on the ground, providing context around campaign promises and political developments.

The facts are checked, and politicians are fair game.

The result is a live experience designed to entertain while offering audiences information they can take with them when they head to the polls.

Bring your friends and your political opinions

Poll Dancing welcomes everyone, from those who follow every political development to people who insist they do not follow politics but somehow have a 17-minute voice note ready to share.

Expect one stage, a packed line-up and an evening of political satire that makes room for both laughter and context.

Whether you come for the comedy or the conversation, the aim is to leave with a few laughs and a little more understanding of the issues shaping the headlines.
