East Coast Radio producer Rory Petzer features on Showmax
Updated | By Udesha Moodley-Judhoo
With great pleasure, we announce the success of our very own Rory Petzer, who has been featured on a Showmax original, Laugh Africa Comedy Club.

When the producers called to tell me they'd be featuring my comedy from Laugh Africa Comedy Festival on Showmax, I almost fell over! Seeing my stand-up comedy on TV is literally a dream come true! I'm just so excited and so grateful!- Rory Petzer
East Coast Radio's Rory Petzer has long been a victor in his comedic journey, bringing laughs to the people of South Africa. As an award-winning comedian, he has reached yet another epic milestone in his career.
Petzer is known for his extensive coverage of sports, current affairs, and social issues. In addition to his love for all things KZN and South Africa, he adds a personal touch by sometimes immersing himself in the comedic segment with his costume. His recent interpretation at the Hollywood Bets Durban July was hilarious as he donned his Springbok kit—an epic representation of an Mzansi Marvel.
He will be featured on a Showmax Original, Laugh Africa Comedy Club.
This series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Laugh Africa Comedy Festival, blending backstage moments with live performances from top comedians across the continent. Petzer's sharp observational humour on modern South Africa is showcased in episodes like "Closing Night Crackups" and "The Grand Opening".
