The lawyer turned comedian is one of the most highly recognised and popular stand up comedians on the road today. Thenjiwe first burst into the comedy scene in 2013, beginning her career in London where she was voted finalist in
the funny woman awards in the same year and has already performed all over South Africa, UK, Belgium, America, Berlin and Congo. She recently returned from a tour in South Asia.

A KwaMashu native, Thenjiwe has been performing comedy around the world. Armed with a Diploma in Performing Arts from Natal Technikon (now Durban University of Technology) and a Law Degree LLB, from the University of London, she separated herself from the pack by combining her comedy and acting talents to create Thenjiwe Comedy Skits which went viral on the internet, exposing her talent to Nguni language speaking audiences and earning her over 11million views on her YouTube channel. This online popularity also resulted in MOJA LOVE TV on DSTV 157 commissioning two of her web series, JUDGE THENJIWE KHAMBULE and MEET THE KHAMBULES, which are a heat with the audiences. Thenjiwe, creates, writes, produces and stars in both sitcoms.

Thenjiwe has also stared in two international films, 10 DAYS IN SUN CITY and THE ACCIDENTAL SPY.

Now on her fourth comedy special, FROM KWAMASHU TO THE WORLD. One of the unique secrets behind Thenjiwe’s success is her ability to adapt her unique comedic personality to whatever arena or environment she is working in and being bilingual has meant she can entertain in both English and Zulu. Thenjiwe’s unique style of humour is appealing to a wide variety of audiences. Her fresh, witty material is taken from observations of everyday life, and her life is full of international experiences, having lived, studied and worked in USA and England and travelled to more than 16 countries for both work and holidays, she has a lot of funny experiences to share with her audience.

She has also created, written, producer movies for Mzanzi Magic, Vusikhaya, Umgcagco wezinyembezi, and Angel.
