Loyiso Madinga is a standup comedian, actor and writer who was the first South Africa Correspondent for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, a position he quickly nabbed after a relatively short career in entertainment. Since starting as a standup in 2012, Loyiso quickly rose in the industry to become a writer and performer on the two-time Emmy Nominated Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola and the hit sketch show, The Bantu Hour, with Kagiso Lediga and Bra Hugh Masekela.
He starred alongside Pearl Thusi in Netflix’s first Africa original series, Queen Sono. Also on Netflix is his half-hour standup special, Long Way From My Village.
