FUNNY man Daniel Friedman, who goes by the stage name Deep Fried Man, had the youth in stitches at the JoziHub in Milpark, Johannesburg, on Tuesday.

The South African comedian delivered a side-splitting performance before the ‘Why do you deserve our vote’ debate hosted by Live Magazine South Africa.

The debate was part of the magazine's VIP: Voting Is Power campaign, which encourages patriotism in young people around the country.

Friedman's new comedy show 'Deep Fried Man' opens at the Joburg Theatre on May 7, the night of the elections.
