Biography

ProfessionalBiography

“Understanding cultures and engaging them on a humorous level is the true art of connection.”

Eugene Khoza is a South African comedian and television presenter best known for co-hosting (with Fezile Makhanya and Lebo Motsoeli) the SABC1 sports magazine show Countdown 2010, from 2008-2010.

Born and bred in the Pretoria area, Eugene has advanced in the world of local comedy and can now be found performing all over the country. His growing ethnic fan base has been accredited to his multilingual delivery and his understanding of cultures and being able to engage them all on a humorous level.

It is this ability that took him from performing open spots to hosting the popular Horror Café Comedy Night for a year. His rise in the comedy ranks began when he made the semi-finals of M-Net’s Laugh Out Loud comedy competition and in the same year won the Ricoffy Comedy Challenge. Those achievements led to him being put on the line-up for Arts Alive 2007, as well as two of the country’s biggest comedy shows: Blacks Only and the Heavyweight Comedy Jam.
