YouTube star and South African comedy sensation Suzelle DIY has a new DIY project – her very own television series, SuzelleDIY.
SuzelleDIY comedy “shorts’ will air on Comedy Central (DStv channel
122) every Monday to Friday from 2 May at 20h05 CAT, with marathons on
Saturdays and Sundays from 7 May.
The creation of South African comedian Julia Anastasopoulos and director Ari
Kruger, SuzelleDIY began life as a bite-sized DIY web series. The
eponymous heroine, Suzelle, a 30-something known for her chic “up-do’, retro
fashion sense, and sweet but dim onscreen persona, has become an internet
celebrity thanks to her bizarre but strangely effective DIY projects.
Making its online debut in 2014, SuzelleDIY has won a loyal following. The online series has garnered over 12 million views.
“I’m so excited that my YouTube videos is going to be on TV now for everybody to
watch on their couches,’ said Suzelle.
Commented Evert van der Veer, vice president, Comedy Central, Africa, “We are
thrilled to welcome SuzelleDIY onto Comedy Central for what we hope
will be their biggest and best DIY project ever.’
