Point of Order on Showmax

Just when you thought Politics could not get any sillier….

Inspired by the shenanigans in the South African Parliament, Point of Order is a comedy panel show that allows SA’s top comedians and special celebrity guests to talk politics like real MPs, perhaps with a little more sense and sensibility. The panellists also get to debate important and vital new laws – like why South Africa would be a better place if singing in the shower featured 90% local content or if there was a limit on the number of white people songs at karaoke.

Point Of Order is produced by Both Worlds, best known for ZaNews’ Puppet Nation, the 2-time, International Emmy nominated production.  Comedian Tumi Morake hosts Point of Order as Madam Speaker, being nominated herself for the SAFTA for Best TV Presenter last year.

Upcoming guests include:

• DJ Fresh, on 15 January
• Zapiro, on 22 January
