Basketmouth, the biggest name in African andNigerian comedy joins My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians as they shoot for the stars

My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians shoots for the stars with the addition of Basketmouth, the biggest name in African and Nigerian comedy.

My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians looks set to realise its Pan-African aspirations with the addition of Basketmouth who joins fellow new recruits Carl Joshua Ncube (Zim), Salvado (Uganda)and Daliso Chaponda (Malawi).  Says My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians exec-producer, Nick Wilson; “We are now at a point where this project can accommodate a personality and talent like Basketmouth.  We have assembled the strongest ever cast of African comedians for a TV series- let alone an adult animated comedy show.”

My Child: Teenage Mutant Azanians tells the story of Professor Afronaut, Africa’s top technocrat, as he pilots the maiden voyage ofAfrica’s first space tourism programme, together with Africa’s top leaders and celebrities. Whilst in flight, a cunning chimpanzee is released from his cage in stowage and in the ensuing bedlam the ape bites the spacecraft’s nuclear stabilizer. There is an almighty atomic explosion and all these leaders and celebrities are cross-mutated with adolescent animals. These animal-human hybrids return to Earth and are subsequently exiled to the land of Azania. It is here that Professor Afronaut founds the Nelson Mandela School for Gifted Mutants, with melodrama and comedy playing out amongst the characters with very different backgrounds and divergent personalities.  Offensive, satirical and animated, the show is best described as South Park spliced with Animal Farm.
