Pearl Thusi the next celeb to be roasted
“After many years in the entertainment industry, I’m no stranger to pressure and I’m fully prepared to handle whatever the Roasters throw at me. So believe me when I say I’ll bring my A-game for this one.
“Returning to the Roast, this time as the roastee, I’m looking forward to having fun in the hot seat and giving as good as I get. If the Roasters think they will get me to squirm, they have another thing coming,” she said.
Monde Twala, the Senior Vice President and General Manager at Paramount Africa, and Lead at BET International, said they are excited to see Pearl being roasted.
“Pearl Thusi is one of South Africa’s rare and precious gems, who has illuminated our screens and airwaves with her radiant presence and style. But, as we know, in the world of Comedy Central roasts, when celebrities’ claws are bared and the knives come out, nothing – and no one – is sacred!
“So, we are looking forward to seeing the Black Pearl show off the mettle that has propelled her to where she is today. We have no doubt she will be showing her Roasters the spiciest of flames on the night,” Monde said.
Alcohol brand Smirnoff has joined as the main sponsor. The brand’s senior brand manager, Vuyisile Dlepu, said: “For us, the partnership with the Roast was a no-brainer; we know South Africans look forward to the show and all the shots fired on the night. What better pairing than the unique flavour of Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind? Pearl is the perfect combination of beauty and brains.
“She’s smart and sassy, and great at thinking on her feet. We are sure she is not going to be anyone’s pushover – and when it gets spicy on stage, it’s going to make for brilliant TV viewing.”
The roast will take place at Gold Reef City’s Lyric Theatre on Thursday, 21 November.
It will be broadcast on Comedy Central (DStv Channel 122) on 8 December 2024 at 9pm.Pearl also has a reality TV show titled The Real Black Pearl on the way.
