A glimpse of Durban
On this gorgeous morning in Montreal I had breakfast at the Just For Laughs conference that revealed the international brand is taking root in the glorious city of Durban with the collaboration of a South-African based conglomerate.

This will be a great opportunity to develop local talents, bring international talents to Durban and create more media content. Gilles Morin Director Europe JFL, Bruce Hills COO JFL & Gilbert Rozon the Founder of JFL, were all in accord expressing their love of Africa. The video they showed us of the coastal city of Durban was spectacular! Moyikwa Sisulu, director for Just For Laughs Africa said: “The opportunity to bring the experience of the Just For Laughs team to developing African comedy was one we just couldn’t turn down.” Rabin Harduth, producer and actor, is also a director for JFL Africa who is set to open in July 2018!
 
Here is a sample of South African Humor.
