This all-round funny man burst onto the scene at the young age of 17, winning the Sprite Soul Comedy competition. Since then his work in TV, radio, film and live performance has earned him the title of one of South Africa’s best and most loved comedians. His career fast-tracked alongside comedy heavyweights such as Kagiso Lediga and the cast from the SABC 1 cult hit comedy sketch series, The Pure Monate Show.

Loyiso has appeared in several other local TV shows like Backstage, Mthunzini.com and Ayeye as well as feature films. His easy going manner and likability has seen him host the Metro FM Music Awards, South African Music Awards and the South African Film and Television awards.

Loyiso recently appeared in Britain's panel show Mock The Week and several BBC radio shows. He has performed alongside the legendary Pieter Dirk-Uys, and was named by the Wall Street Journal as one South Africa’s comedy greats. Loyiso has just released his 4th Comedy DVD State of the Nation.
