ON MIC
LESOTHO · BLOEMFONTEIN · #ZAPANG
MASAPO
Tšepo Mpiti
Stand-up and song. Witty, edgy stories from the ordinary day — told by someone who has been carrying Lesotho into other people’s rooms since 2016.
THE ROOM
Before he walks on.
THE ACT
The story is the punchline.
A singer who stands up. A member of The Inglorious Comedians. Protégé of Tumi Morake on Showmax’s Tripping with Skhumba.
“People don’t understand comedy or take it seriously… That’s why I want to establish Lesotho’s footprint in the comedy world.”

The observation
Everyday things. Food, rooms, the way people perform being fine. The joke is in the telling, not a costume.
- 02
Tall. Skinny.
His own description of the body that walks on. The stage name Masapo is the Sesotho tease for bones.
- 03
Two countries
Sea Point born. Raised into Lesotho crowds. Studied at CUT in Bloemfontein. The set travels with him.
- He has said, in the Public Eye, that he is the father of stand-up in Lesotho. The claim is his. The work under it is the shows, the pop-ups, and the newer comics he keeps putting on bills.
ROOMS
Where the mic already was.
Nothing on this page is on sale. These are dates from the press and from his own posts. Zambia sits on the circuit too — he has talked about it — without a venue name worth printing.
WATCH
He closes the night.
This is not a solo special. It is the December 2025 cut of Who Let The PK Out? — a full bill, judges, and Masapo as the closing act.
