3 Local Comedies to Add to Your Watchlist Tonight 🍿

Looking for something that will make you laugh until your stomach hurts? Whether you are in the mood for sharp-witted Afrikaans humor or classic South African pranks, we’ve rounded up three must-watch local comedies that deliver pure entertainment.

Here is what you should stream next:

1. Ouma Sarie (Season 1)

• The Vibe: Sharp, unfiltered, and fiercely loving.
• The Story: Meet Ouma Sarie (played brilliantly by Moses Williams), the straight-talking, no-nonsense matriarch of the Karoo. She is the kind of grandmother everyone wishes they had—mostly because she says exactly what everyone else is thinking and somehow always gets away with it. Expect daily drama, chaotic family dynamics, and endless laughs.

2. Die Aunt Sylvie Show (Season 1)

• The Vibe: Heartwarming local sitcom with a chaotic twist.
• The Story: A spin-off of sorts for the Ouma Sarie universe, this show follows Sarie’s notoriously nosy neighbor, Aunt Sylvia. Armed with a life insurance payout from her late husband, Sylvia is determined to build a new life as a single mom and business owner. The only catch? Her son, Drickus, has an absolute talent for accidentally walking straight into trouble.

3. Schuks Tshabalala's Survival Guide To South Africa

• The Vibe: Nostalgic, laugh-out-loud candid camera pranks.
• The Story: Take a trip back to 2010 with the king of South African comedy, Leon Schuster. In this feature-length film, Schuks Tshabalala and his trusty sidekick, Shorty, are tasked with creating a movie to help promote tourism in SA. The result? A hilarious string of classic pranks that show off the country's unique sense of humor.
