Reading Time: 3 minutes

The early birds have caught the worm—or rather, the best-priced tickets—but don’t worry! You can still secure your spot at the Ultimate Braai Master Live 2024 event, running from 25 to 27 October at Montecasino, Johannesburg. It’s shaping up to be the hottest braai gathering of the year, and you won’t want to miss it.

Imagine this: a crackling fire, the smell of perfectly charred boerewors, and the sound of laughter that only good South African humour can bring. A plethora of top-notch comedians are set to tickle the funny bones around the braai, with the first laugh maestro we’re thrilled to announce being none other than Dave Levinsohn.

Who is Dave Levinsohn?
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a braai tong-wielding South African meets razor-sharp wit, look no further than Dave Levinsohn. A veteran of the comedy circuit, Dave’s humour is as distinctly local as a braai on a Saturday afternoon—sharp, funny, and guaranteed to leave you in stitches. Whether he’s talking about the quirks of South African life or the universal trials of trying to keep your steak from burning, Dave is your go-to guy for a good laugh.

But the entertainment doesn’t stop there! More top-notch comedians will soon be announced, partnering with braai masters such as Pete Goffe-Wood and Benny Masekwameng to keep bellies full and laughing. Family friends, novices, and braai master pros will all be able to indulge in a weekend of spectacular food and drink, gear, demos, spices, accessories, entertainment, and fun. The Ultimate Braai Master Team is also partnering with a selection of braai and outdoor lifestyle vendors to create a three-day experience that will satisfy the taste of all braai enthusiasts.

“If you’re wondering what to do with your weekend, let me make it easy for you—come to the Ultimate Braai Master Live! It’s the perfect family event where you can learn to braai like a pro, eat like a king, and laugh so hard you might just drop your chop. With the best quality food, top-notch vendors, and entertainment that’ll have you in stitches, this is going to be one of the best events of the year. Trust me, your braai tongs will thank you later!” says Forrest.
