            Jonasi, a Zimbabwean stand-up comedian and actor, finished in the Top 5 in Season 19 of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” in September. Standing over 6 feet tall, he brings his comedy to life with past experiences, observations, and his view (from the top!), which elicit rib-tickling laughs. In 2019, he won the National Arts Merit Awards as the Outstanding Comedian of the Year, the Savanna Comic Choice Awards as the Pan African Comic of the Year, and he was the People’s Choice Award winner in Steve Harvey’s Stand-Up Spotlight competition. In 2023, he was the winner of the Boston Comedy Festival and the audience-choice winner of the Jersey City Comedy Festival.
